Stunning renovated 19th Century chateau built in the Renaiassance style on the banks of the Loire. With numerous bedrooms, vast parklands and excellent outbuildings, this elegant chateau would be ideal as an event location or a chambre d'hôtes.
The exquisite 19th-century château is nestled in the "Valley of the Kings," a name derived from the fact that it was a favored summer retreat or primary residence for the kings of France over many centuries. This region is rich in historical heritage and cultural significance.
The château's location is ideal due to its accessibility from major cities like Paris and Bordeaux. It is conveniently situated in close proximity to important economic, industrial, and educational centers in the region, such as Angers and Nantes. Additionally, the property enjoys easy access to key rail and airport connections in western France, with Angers and Nantes serving as important transport hubs.
For daily necessities, essential shops are available in the nearby village. If more extensive shopping and services are required, the city of Angers, which is approximately 35 minutes away by car, provides a wide range of amenities and hosts various tourist attractions.
A railway station (Gare SNCF) is located just 2 kilometers away, ensuring convenient transportation options for residents and visitors.
