Less than two hours from Paris near the Loire Valley, it is ideally located to explore the Loire Valley castles and its wines, Chartres and its cathedral or Le Mans with the famous Cité Plantagenêt and the legendary 24 hours circuit.

The residence of the Vanssay family, in uninterrupted lineage since 1404, offers you a true, joyful and refined welcome. Situated in the heart of a preserved valley, the castle is surrounded by a vast private park of 40 hectares and embellished with a peaceful and colorful garden. Forest, meadows, pond, river and garden surround like a jewel case this castle fortified during the wars of religion.

It is indeed for Guy and Marnie de Vanssay a shared joy to meet with their guests over a cup of tea and advise them on the must-sees of the region. A detailed visit of the castle, explaining its architecture and its history will also kindly be offered to you.
