Chateau de Pray lies in the
heart of the prestigious Loire châteaux region. A mile west of the town
center, this château from 1224 resembles a tower-flanked castle on the
Rhine. Inside, you'll find antlers, hunting trophies, and a paneled
drawing room with a fireplace and a collection of antique oils. There
are 19 rooms at your disposal. The ones in the main building were
renovated in 1998 and are conservative and comfortable. The more
spacious chambers are near the ground floor, You'll certainly
particularly appreciate the canopied fourposter beds. Small but
well-organized bathrooms contain tubs and showers. The restaurant,
elected "Table de qualité" by Alain Ducasse, offers Loire cuisine and fixed-price menus of excellent
quality; reservations are required.
Leisure is well known in the chateau region, wine tasting, chateaux
visits, medieval buildings but for nature lovers: the Aquarium de
Touraine with typical Loire river fish, and the Chinon, Bourgueil and
Vouvray vineyards and cellars. Golf, horse riding, tennis an cycling
facilities also nearby. |
