An Insider’s Guide to Loire Valley Châteaux, Country Calm
Dreaming of the Loire Valley? Welcome to a land of royal castles, riverside vineyards, and hidden countryside gems. At Maison Adrienne, we offer more than a place to stay — we share our favorite local secrets for a slow, elegant escape.
1. The Must-Sees (Yes, but differently)
- Château de Chenonceau (tip: arrive at 9 AM, take the gardens first)
- Château de Montpoupon (quiet, immersive, with hunting museum)
- Valençay (architecture & gardens, often overlooked)
2. Country calm: Our local favorites
- Wine tasting at Domaine de la Renaudie (less than 10 min away)
- Picnic by the Cher river, basket available at Maison Adrienne
- Evening walks under hundred-year-old lime trees
3. Our philosophy
We believe in slow travel: enjoying, not rushing.
Ask for your curated map & itinerary when you check in.
