Located a mere fifteen minutes from Blois and convenient to many of the grand châteaux of the Loire, Château du Guerinet sits on forty acres of meadows and ancient oak woods, which is then surrounded by 4000 acres of forest with a network of paths for walking, cycling and riding. All of the oak in this french chateau came from that forest!  The château is adorned with stunning French architectural details such as carved plaster work, a monumental stone staircase, polished parquet floors, original tile work, wrought iron balustrades, lovely fireplaces of marble and stone,  enormous French trumeau mirrors, trompe l'oeil paintings, polished parquet floors, fine wood and plaster work, and magnificent chandeliers and sconces. Outside are two spacious terraces that catch the morning and afternoon sun. The grand reception rooms, with their five meter-high ceilings, have floor to ceiling windows at the front and back allowing in light all day long. 

Guests will be equally impressed with the accommodations at the château ~ six grand, elegant and beautifully furnished suites with period French furniture enhanced by fine fabrics in warm and inviting colors.    Rooms are designed with the comfort of their guests in mind, and their occupants will find themselves truly experiencing château life as it is intended.  Fine Egyptian cotton bed linens and duvets of goose and duck down on super king size beds in each room make one's château experience even more luxurious.  For those with allergies, microfiber duvets and pillows are available. The family who owns the château and has so lovingly restored it will give each guest a warm welcome.  Guests can even spend some time pampering themselves in a wonderful, four-person, infrared sauna. 

For those looking for a beautiful Loire Valley venue for their wedding, the Clemence family can make all arrangements for a perfect event.  They can provide professional local artisans to do catering, photography, flowers and music and can arrange for horse-drawn carriages and, perhaps, hot-air balloon rides!  The wedding party will have exclusive use of the château, and guests are limited to 50 - 60 persons.  The sweeping staircase in the great entrance hall is perfect for wedding photography, and the Hall can be used for dancing.  Two lovely reception rooms, a commercial kitchen and the magnificent park and gardens will add to making any wedding a spectacular occasion. 

So, you see why we believe that Château du Guerinet is a grand way to spend time in the Loire.  Madame Clemence is an expert on the Loire Valley and all it has to offer.  She can tell you about the royal châteaux ~ why just visit them, when you can actually stay in one? ~ the wines produced in the surrounding vineyards, and anything else you would like to know when planning your daily outings.   The Clemence family is awaiting your visit!
