Fairytale Castles, such as Chenonceau, Rivau, Azay, Ussé and Langeais are lined up along the Loire like pearls on a chain and are all within the vicinity, as also are the splendid gardens of Villandry and Valmer. Medieval villages, museums and lively towns such as Montsoreau, Richelieu, Tours, Angers or Le Mans are fascinating to any visitor interested in culture. Relish the untouched nature whilst on a walking or bicycle tour – or, for the daring, during a flight in a hot air balloon. The region is ideal for a vacation with children. Apart from zoos and adventure parks you will find many possibilities to entertain little guests.
Or just sip a glass of wine – hundreds of winemakers in the area invite you to a winetasting in their cellars.
Your English speaking host Manfred Fritsch will be delighted to welcome you and make your vacation in France an unforgettable one.
All our visitors admire the little “monastery garden”. It’s herb produce is used in the kitchen, but also for herbal teas for breakfast.
LE CLOS DE LA GARDE is closed for its customary annual winter break and we are looking forward to welcoming you back at our usual opening in the spring from 30th April. In the meantime we are always available for your questions and reservations.
Thank you for your support in a very difficult year 2020 – and we hope to see you again soon.
Stay safe and healthy!
