"We had a wonderful time. We did a little wine tasting but not as much as Chateau touring. We visited a little winery near the chateau called Le Domaine de Villemont. Wonderful! We had some of their wine at a local restaurant and the owner said we should tour the vineyards which were nearby. The young lady, who was the daughter of the owner, was just great and I learned more about the French wine labelling system from her than you could learn in 5 books. The wines were very nice and we brought several bottles home. The history in France was wonderful and one day we went to the Chateau in Chinon and as we were the only English speaking persons there we got our own private tour from "Marie." She did a great job both with her English translations and with her French history! All in all a special trip. Thanks again."

This original 3 storey, 9 bedroom, 5 bathroom chateau lies within 25 acres of stunning enclosed parkland complete with swimming pool and exceptional views over the surrounding countryside. Accommodating up to 16 people, this charming dwelling provides a superb gateway to the local charms and escapes of the Loire Valley.
The Chateau De Lanternes is the ideal base to explore the renowned culture, history and attractions of the Loire Valley and its many Roman ruins, abbeys, churches and chateaux. A number of restaurants and food shops are within a short walking distance of the chateau, offering guests the chance to sample the famed cuisine of the region. The classically designed Chateau De Lanternes was designed and completed in the early 19th century in a style typical of Loire Valley chateaux of that period.
