The Châteaux of the Loire

Staying at La Villa des Bordes is the perfect gateway to the Loire Valley's most beautiful châteaux. Located in Cléry-Saint-André, our hotel offers easy access to the entire region, offering a wealth of royal heritage, architectural gems, and literary treasures.

Just a two-minute walk from the hotel, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Cléry impresses with its flamboyant Gothic style. It houses the tomb of Louis XI, who initiated its construction at the end of the 15th century.

It's then just a ten-minute drive to reach the Château de Meung-sur-Loire , the former residence of the bishops of Orléans. Joan of Arc, François Villon and Louis XI all left their mark there.

Further on (30 min), the Château de Chambord , a Renaissance masterpiece, displays its incredible architecture. With its 365 chimneys and French-style gardens, it amazes young and old alike.

The Château de Blois, 45 minutes away, alone brings together several centuries of history, having hosted seven kings and ten queens of France.

For literature lovers, Talcy Castle (30 min) recalls the verses of Ronsard, dedicated to the young Cassandra.

The Villa des Bordes is also located near the Château de la Ferté-Saint-Aubin , renowned for its family activities, and the Romanesque abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, still inhabited by a community of monks.

Finally, Orléans and its majestic Gothic cathedral are just a 20-minute drive away.

After your visits, return to the cozy comfort of your carefully decorated room and enjoy the peace and quiet of the park. In the evening, our restaurant offers refined regional cuisine to prolong the pleasure. At La Villa des Bordes, each day of escape begins and ends in serenity.
