The Valley
of the Sarthe is enchanting. Village after village along the meandering
and gentle River Sarthe will surprise you with its charm, beauty and
tranquillity. At the heart of this valley you will find the romantic
Château de Vaulogé on the banks of the tiny River Gée, a château with a
long and interesting history brought into the twenty-first century to
welcome you as its guest. In 1398, Jean III married Marguerite de
Champagné, Dame de Fercé, and began construction of Château de Vaulogé
at the beginning of the 15th century. The manoir exists to this day.
Between 1601 and 1622 crenelated walls were erected for its defense. The
château was transformed in the 18th century when René-Charles-Joseph de
Vahais came into possession of Vaulogé. Château de Vaulogé has been
owned by two families over the centuries, each with their own dreams for
the château. Its architectural evolution has made it what it is today --
a welcoming and captivating sanctuary in one of the most appealing
départements of France. It’s present owner, a refined and enchanting
lady: Mme. Marisa Radini, decided to convert the property into a B&B
after the sudden death of her husband who had just acquired the property
in early nineties, for his retirement. Mme. Radini has done a wonderful
job in decorating every room with exquisite taste and most important,
today the chateau and its guests are her life and joy, so a stay at
Chateau de Vauloge is sure to be a memory to treasure. |
