The view from the XVIIIth century manor is breathtaking. It looks directly across to the legendary Chinon Fortress, and overlooks the meandering Vienne. The walled domaine is just a few minutes walks from the town center.

Ground floor
On the ground floor a large bright hallway leads into the 18th century sitting room with an open fireplace, and lovely sounding piano. It is elegantly furnished, but not too precious, so that you feel at home. There is an adjoining small library/reading room.
A grand panelled dining room has built in corner cupboards, well-stocked with dinner plates and plenty of wine glasses… of course ! There is an open fireplace and a wonderful view of the fortress.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas cooker, large electric oven and a wood burning stove. The farmhouse kitchen table seats 6.
A spiral staircase leads to the upper floors.
