Le Clos St Vincent is situated in the quiet, hilltop hamlet of Le Bourg, St Julien de Chedon, and is surrounded by vineyards which produce the world-famous Touraine wines. St Julien lies in the valley of the beautiful River Cher, near the pretty medieval town of Montrichard, with its donjon, small shops, restaurants, pleasure beach on the banks of the river and twice-weekly market. Within easy reach are many of the chateaux of the Loire Valley – Chenonceaux, Amboise, Loches, Chambord, and many more – and the historic cities of Blois and Tours with their pedestrianised medieval quarters and fine shopping areas. For families with younger children, great days out might include canoeing on the river, the Zoo de Beauval, the Mini -chateaux or the aquarium at Amboise, the fantasy Forest or, at a slightly greater distance, Futuroscope at Poitiers. Beautiful gardens, fine food and wines, walking, cycling .... there is plenty to see and do in this wonderful corner of France!
