Location:
ChĂąteau Coeur enjoys a privileged setting in the very heart of the Loire valley only a 10-minute drive from the historic town of Amboise and the banks of the Loire River. The exquisite city of Tours is only 31km away. The chĂąteau is set in 19-hectare grounds with woodland walks. There is space to arrive by helicopter on request and hot-air balloon rides can be organised, an enchanting way to experience the idyllic landscapes of the Loire valley. Although this is a rural setting, it is not too remote with a small handful of neighbouring properties. Furthermore, itâs amazing to be able to reach Amboise in just 8km, home to the iconic ChĂąteau Royal d'Amboise, one of the regionâs most famous castles. Amboise is classified as a âHistoric Town in Franceâ and itâs wonderful to spend time exploring its centre with half-timbered medieval houses, artisan shops, bistros, cafĂ© terraces and the twice-weekly market. The town is also home to ChĂąteau de Clos-LucĂ© where Leonardo da Vinci once lived as well as the banks of the river for canoeing/kayaking and boat trips in the summer months. Cycling lovers note that the Loire Ă VĂ©lo trail passes through Amboise. Follow the route west towards Montlouis-sur-Loire and Tours, following the river part of the way, or venture further east until you arrive at ChĂąteau de Chaumont-sur-Loire. Whether travelling by bike or car, this is such an excellent location for exploring the Loire Valley as you are almost equidistant between Tours (31km) and Blois (41km). Other world-famous castles include ChĂąteau de Chenonceau (9km), ChĂąteau de Tours (31km), ChĂąteau de Villandry (57km) and ChĂąteau d'Azay-le-Rideau (55km). There are also numerous wine-tasting opportunities from the vineyards of Vouvray (24km) to the wine-bars of Chinon (77km) and the sparkling white wine of Saumur (108km), just over an hour away. Not to mention gastronomic restaurants and markets across historic towns and cities, a fine way to savour the cuisine of the âGarden of Franceâ. The city of Tours (31km) has gained a particular reputation for its food scene and there are various markets taking place on most days of the week. You could even head to Paris for a superb day out. Train services from Amboise to Paris Austerlitz take less than two hours or consider the faster TGV service from St-Pierre-des-Corps (29km) to Paris Montparnasse (this journey is just over an hour). There is also a 90-minute direct service from St-Pierre-des-Corps to Marne-la-VallĂ©e Chessy for Disneyland Paris!
