Rent a château in the West of France, between the Loire and the Atlantic

The West is where you come with thirty people for a week. Near Angers, Château de La Douve d’Armaillé sleeps 36 in 15 hectares and hosts up to 120 guests. Near Saumur, Château du Bellay, a 16th-century house, takes 14, thirty-five minutes from Tours and Angers. Château La Villaine, in the Touraine, sleeps 15 a few minutes from the Loire châteaux. In the Vendée, close to the sea and La Roche-sur-Yon, Château de La Bijoire opens 40 hectares to 25 people and parties of up to 80. Château de Coislin sleeps 17 and hosts weddings of up to 70 `[location to check]`; Château de Beauregard, at Asnois, takes 15 `[to check]`; Château de La Bouillerie and its 350 hectares, 25. And Château de l’Écluse, near Sancerre, goes up to 47 beds.

All are rented for your exclusive use: the château, estate or manor house whole — bedrooms, drawing rooms, kitchen, grounds. The owners welcome you, then leave you at home. That is what sets our houses apart from large group rentals and hotels, and why a family returns to the same place every summer.

All around, what travellers look for in the West: Nantes and the Machines de l’Île, Angers and the Apocalypse Tapestry, Saumur and its Loire cellars, Puy du Fou, the Vendée beaches and the island of Noirmoutier, La Baule and the Guérande salt marshes, the Marais Poitevin, the vineyards of Chinon, Bourgueil and Muscadet, Sancerre. From 14 to 47 beds, up to 120 guests for a reception.
