Further details for this holiday chateau / country house rental in Indre-et-Loire, France

Further Details : Please contact the owner for further details and website.

History of house: The house was formerly part of the estate of our neighbour the Chateau de Rochecotte. The main house is thought to date back to the 18th century, but attached to the house are a couple of much older 17th century cottages. These are not occupied but are used as a wood store and tool shed. Underneath the house is a limestone cave with a secret passage leading behind the house to the forest. During the second world war the French Foreign Minister was re- located from Paris to the house and along with him was taken, for safe keeping, the signed copy of the Treaty of Versailles which the Germans were forced to sign at the end of the first world war. When the invading Germans arrived in the village they visited the house and the Treaty was removed.

Eating out in the area: There are dozens of restaurants and cafes in the area ranging from simple menus at the budget end with 3 or 4 course lunches for 10 Euros through to top class restaurants competing with the best that Paris can offer. In the village there is our local bar which serves snacks and drinks from early morning or at the other end of the gastronomic scale the magnificent Chateau Rochecotte, a sumptuous 4 star hotel with a restaurant open to the public. At nearby Langeais there is a choice of half a dozen restaurants and the same applies to the market town of Bourgueil 8 miles to the west.

Other Activities: ice skating
