Charming stone cottage in the Grand Chateaux area of the Loire Valley
La Menagerie is an 18th century wine-maker’s house that was fully restored in 2005. Its surface, which is approximately 2045 square feet, can accommodate up to six adults in comfort. The renovation preserved the character of the cottage while making it as comfortable as any contemporary home. It combines antique furniture, paintings and prints, with more recent items with a touch of international contemporary design. It also offers a lot of modern amenities: broadband wireless Internet connection; a Finnish SAUNA and heating system; a flat screen TV with sound system; washer & separate dryer among others. It is composed of a large living and dining room that opens to a joint kitchen; three bedrooms, a family room, a laundry room, 2 powder rooms with a toilet and basin, and 2 full bathrooms (one at each floor). The living room features hardwood floors and wooden ceilings beams, a dining table that sits eight, and a fireplace. The kitchen has gourmet cooking utensils and equipment.

The cottage sits amidst fields, woods and vineyards near a small hamlet of four units. It is a very tranquil location though it is only 15 Km from the city of Blois and 10 Km from the famous Chateau de Cheverny. The cottage is close (about one mile) to Chitenay --a charming village with all the basic facilities, including a bakery. Paris is 195 km (or 122 miles) away from Chitenay and the city of Tours 75km (or 47 miles). The closest supermart is only 10 minutes drive from the property. This is the perfect gateway to major Renaissance Landmarks in the Central Loire Valley area, such as the Grand Chateaux of Blois, Chambord, Amboise or Chenonceau, and Clos-Luce, a mansion where Leonardo Da Vinci spent his last years, all located in a 40km/25 miles radius from the property. Playing golf at the Cheverny Golf Course', flying over the region in a hot air balloon or hunting in Sologne are among so many activities this area can offer. This is also a place for wine and food enthusiasts.
Local activities tennis, walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing

'We're having a great time, swimming a lot, biking a lot and eating a lot...
La Menagerie is very comfortable and we are really enjoying ourselves'.
Philip Davies (UK), August 2007
'I would definitely recommend La Menagerie. The design of the cottage is
fantastic - it has maintained its country house character while
including all of the modern conveniences. The well-equipped kitchen made
it ideal for cooking and tasting the quality food from the region. And
the location is fantastic- only a couple of hours from Paris, close to
the Chateaux of the Loire and in a quiet spot away from other houses and
traffic.
It was the perfect retreat from a place like Hong Kong.
Thanks again',
Todd Barlow, Hong Kong, January 2007
'We are still 'glowing' from our holiday. This is such a wonderful area. Many thanks again for the comforts of your lovely house, your
attention to detail was greatly appreciated by all.
Best regards'
