| Everyone is drawn to and fascinated by the Loire Valley of France. The famous, historic grand châteaux of the Loire welcome millions of visitors each year. Therefore, it is even more special to be able to stay in a Loire Valley château -- one whose history began in the fifteenth century, made evident by the moat and tower that still remain to guard its courtyard entrance. The castle was built in the eighteenth century incorporating the tower, and subsequent additions were made in the nineteenth century, all beautifully blending to create a harmonious and architecturally pleasing building.. (An old legend tells of a donkey, activating the mechanism of the bucket waterwheel to draw water from the moat, who stopped working when the water overflowed from the top of the tower!) On the grounds is also a fine 19th century chapel with a superb stained-glass window. As that century drew to a close, Château du Breuil was owned by the Marquise de Méloise Frenoy, and as recently as 1968 it belonged to the Earl de La Salle. But, it was in 1987 that it was lovingly transformed into a comfortable and peaceful château-hôtel welcoming guests from around the world. In the elegant dining room, delicious regional cuisine and fine wines are offered, and meals can be enjoyed in the park behind the dining room in good weather. For cycling enthusiasts, bicycles can be rented at the château so guests may explore the region on their own or join the "Castle by Bike" tour that passes in front of the property. At less than four kilometers distance one can play golf at the Golf Club at Château de Cheverny or enjoy the nearby tennis courts. Equestrian pursuits are but one kilometer from the château. And, of course, the beauty and charm of the River Loire and the fine towns, castles and vineyards throughout the valley make day trips by automobile very pleasant and rewarding. The château's interior is very sophisticated with both guest and common rooms decorated in a palette of pastels creating a soft and warm atmosphere. The salon is a perfect example of the mood achieved by the careful selection of furniture and colors enabling guests to completely relax and enjoy their stay. Bedrooms and suites are designed with the comfort of their occupants in mind as well, and they are beautifully appointed with fine furniture and lovely fabrics and carpets. Your host and hostess, Bernard and Margot Gattolliat, will welcome you to their fine home and make every effort to see that your stay at Château du Breuil is one of the happiest memories of your time in France. |
