Location:

Château 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 château 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, it’s amazing to be able to reach Amboise in just 8km, home to the iconic Château Royal d'Amboise, one of the region’s most famous castles. Amboise is classified as a ‘Historic Town in France’ and it’s wonderful to spend time exploring its centre with half-timbered medieval houses, artisan shops, bistros, café terraces and the twice-weekly market. The town is also home to Château de Clos-Lucé 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 à Vélo 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 Château 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 Château de Chenonceau (9km), Château de Tours (31km), Château de Villandry (57km) and Château 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 ‘Garden of France’. 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-Vallée Chessy for Disneyland Paris!
