Le Prieuré near to Saumur was
built in the 12th and 16th centuries. It proposes an exceptionally fine view
over the Loire valley and a 60-acre park. An initial lodge was built in
the 12th century. In the 16th century, an elegant manor house was added
to the original construction, a building with a double gable and
hexagonal turret containing a wide spiral staircase, a gallery, huge
rooms with decorative fireplaces, etc. The chateau was transformed into
a hotel in 1957.
Le Prieuré Hotel offers you a large variety of leisure activities in its
surroundings, among them: Enjoying trips in the Loire in a sailing barge,
visits to Saumur (the horse capital), wine tasting and so on. All of
these can be enjoyed with the authentic gastronomic touch of chef Jean-Noël
Lumineau with a 30 years gained experience in country restaurants with
stars along the Loire region. |
