Description for B&B:

Located a short distance southeast of Orleans and north of Sancerre, at the eastern end of the Valley of the Kings, lies our charming guest house. Situated just 150 km south of Paris (a convenient one-hour drive from Fontainebleau), and positioned on the banks of the picturesque river Loire between Gien and Briare, our property offers two rooms, two suites, and two gites for your accommodation needs.

Nestled among ancient trees, our separate guest house is surrounded by a delightful park that stretches down to the Loire. Originally built in the 18th century and fully renovated in 2001, this magnificent old manor house, designed in the enchanting "Mansart" style, stands in close proximity to our own residence. You will have complete freedom, as we provide independent car parking and entrances.

Our guests are warmly invited to explore and enjoy the seven acres of parkland, adorned with centuries-old trees and colorful flowers. Relax in our deckchairs, dine at our outdoor tables, or engage in outdoor games with your children. Take advantage of our tennis and table-tennis facilities, or follow the private path, just 300 meters away, that leads directly to the Loire river, perfect for leisurely walks or bike rides.

We offer additional services such as baby-sitting, bike rentals, and welcome animals with certain restrictions. Please note that our entire property is non-smoking.

The nightly rate for a room starts at 64 Euros for two people, including breakfast. For single-night stays, there is an additional supplement of €10. However, if you choose to stay with us for four nights or more, we offer a 10% discount (more details can be found on our website).

We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you to our tranquil retreat, where you can experience the beauty of the Loire Valley and create lasting memories.
