Manoir du Luc - PR692 Loire Valley

This 6 bedroom Loire chateau with private lake is surrounded by well tended gardens and mature trees. Enjoy afternoon tea in the lakeside gazebo, or an evening meal watching the sun set over the water.

The house has a charm reminiscent of a bygone era, with original tiled and wooden floors, panelled walls and ceilings, and marble fireplaces.

This is an ideal base from which to visit the famous Chateaux of the Loire Valley. Among the most renowned are those at Amboise, Blois and Chenonceaux - a visit to the Loire region would be incomplete without seeing these splendid properties.

The nearby town of Chateau-Renault was founded on the leather industry. There is a tannery museum and the local chateau, built in 1150 by the Comte de Blois Thibaut V, is now occupied by the Mairie, but still offers the best views over the town.
