At the heart of the Loire Valley, 30 minutes from Tours, is the impressive estate of Ch\u00e2teau de Montgoger. \u00a0On 8 acres, beside a vast forest, stand two significant structures. \u00a0It is the contrast of these two structures that tells the colourful story of Montgoger. It is a history that stretches back 850 years. One is the ruin of the chateau, made thus after a devastating fire in 1943 which rendered the historic chateau unliveable. This was the second time a fire had taken the chateau as the ancient castle had burned down in 1885! \u00a0The 18th century orangerie is an elegant conversion that accommodates 30 people. Holidays in the chateau can be as slow or active as you choose. Cycling, hiking, walking, exploring historic castles and wine tasting are all possible in this rich region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16125,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-7129","chateau","type-chateau","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","regions-2h-from-paris","regions-west-france","usages-vacations","usages-weekends-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
