Chateau de
Marçay is in the heart of the land of Rabelais. The twin towers of this
magnificent century chateau, which lies near Chinon where Joan of Arc
met King Charles VII, soar above a landscape that once enchanted
François Rabelais. The château’s tastefully decorated rooms, which blend
wood panelling, sumptuous materials and period furniture, also offer
every modern comfort.
The refined cuisine is enhanced by an excellent selection of fine wines
and Loire vintages. The elegance and charm of the hall suggest
greediness. The chef's cuisine makes the Loire wines divinely sing.
Every evening the ballet of waiters is done with discretion for aperitif
in the park as well as in the dining hall. In summer time, lunches are
served on the garden side, between the two wings, one of which is topped
with a mansard roof. They both have at their extremities a polygonal
tower. One is flanked at one of its corners with an elegant corbelling
turret on a sculpted bracket.
In the evening, after having taken advantage of the region's attractive
curiosities, such as Montsorereau and its literature château or Chinon
and its ruins of atmosphere or yet Richelieu and its private hotels, you
may rest by the chimney in the main lounge or even in small private
lounges near the bar. |
