The Hotel Château de La Barre
The 4 star hotel has been in the family of the Comte and Comtesse de Vanssay for 20 generations, and lies hidden in a beautiful park, away from the noise and commotion, and in close vicinity of the peaceful and pittoresque Val de Loir as well as the famous Loire castles. The history of this countryside manor goes back to the 14th century, through the Hundred Years‘ War, the Wars of the Reformation and the French Revolution. A romantic chateau, home to the Vanssay Family who have cared for it and expanded it through the centuries. It’s hard to decide which of the many rooms of this castle hotel in France is the most beautiful – the impressive reception rooms with the family portraits or the dining hall with its imposing XVIIIth century burnished buffet cabinet, displaying precious plates given to the family by the last king of France as well as a Chinese porcelain collection. The four charming gardens of Château de La Barre offer the perfect spot for lovers and romantics. This 4 star hotel is authentic in every detail.
