Hotel Château de la Bourdaisière

Ideally located just a short drive from the most beautiful Castle of the Loire Valley, and only one hour by train from Paris, the Château de la Bourdaisière Hotel features 17 guest rooms, an heated swimming pool and a tennis court. Situated in the Loire Valley, a UNESCO's world heritage site, the Château de la Bourdaisière Hotel is housed in a historic building surrounded by splendid gardens where Francis I's favourite, Marie Gaudin, and Henry IV's favourite, Gabrielle d'Estrée, used to live. Prince Louis Albert de Broglie (the Prince gardener) created in the castle's park the Conservatoire de la tomate (Tomato Conservatory), so in spring don't miss this unique opportunity of visiting the beautiful dahlia garden and officinal herbs gardens. To transform this historic site in a perfect eco hotel, at the end of 2009 the management will start a technological renovation program ending in 2012. The program will use the best solutions for water and energy savings, as well as waste disposal; whilst educational exhibitions will take place at the Château de la Bourdaisière Hotel.
