My extended family spent a delightful three nights at Chateau La Touanne in April, 2013. We'd heard about the chateau from a friend who'd also experienced a wonderful stay the year before. The chateau has been in the same family for over 300 years and the current owners, Nicolas and Christine, have spent a lot of time and creativity in... More

We spent three nights at Château La Touanne with friends and four kids aged 8 to 11. We had a wonderful time. The chateau is beautiful, the rooms have a lot of character and our kids really enjoyed playing in the park, punting on the river and playing ping-pong. We had dinner twice and found the food excellent. The hosts... More

This is really worth a visit. The hosts, Nicolas and Christine, are very welcoming and we had a delightful room overlooking the grounds (I suspect they all do!). A sitting room would be nice but we enjoyed the intimate dining room and the communal eating at breakfast. I advised the owners in advance that my wife was a coeliac and... More

Although we only stayed for one night it was a lovely experience. The room was comfortable and tastefully decorated with a wonderful view of the long driveway. Facilities to make a drink in the room were available, very handy after a long drive. The Chateau is steeped in family history and the evidence is all around. We arrived late in... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night on 2 October 2012 on our way back from Spain to the UK. Its location is ideal to make the tunnel at Calais within 5 hours. Nicholas is descended from the first inhabitants of the Chateau which was built in the 17thC and it is clear he takes great pride in... More

I had such a wonderful 3 night stay at chateau la touanne. The chateau itself is stunning, and surrounded by a lovely green property, but best of all I was welcomed as part of the family by Nicholas, Christine and their two lovely daughters. The hosts were extremely helpful and informative, and Christine is a fantastic cook. Excellent location with... More

We spent 3 night at the chateau, which is every bit as beautiful as it looks in the picture. The room we had was huge and very tasteful and the whole place is immaculate. It's a lovely restful environment in which to spend a couple of days, and a great base for exploring some of The Loire Valley. Nicolas is... More

You really should not miss the opportunity of staying at Nicolas and Christine’s Chateau. Just the approach along the drive and you know this is going to be special. Just read though all the reviews what more needs to be said. Stunning rooms, excellent food and wine.

Just returned from a two week trip to France - three nights of which were spent at La Touanne. What a fantastic place - Nicholas and his wife were friendly, hospitable and full of information to make our stay with them interesting and restful. The chateau was stunning - original features throughout, beautifully decorated rooms, delicious breakfasts, stunning pool and... More
