You are in the ideal position to visit the chateaux of the Loire Valley thanks to the residence Le Relais du Plessis in Richelieu!

Your holiday apartment in Loire: at the gateway to the most beautiful chateaux of the Loire Valley

The town of Richelieu is rich in history, ancient monuments and beautiful landscapes. Start your stay with a visit to the Chateau de la Roche-du-Maine, a beautifully renovated building that will transport you back a few centuries. You can then take your young musketeers to relax in the Richelieu Park, located in the heart of the village. A short distance away, the Chateau du Rivau seduces many travellers every year, spellbound by its rich furnishings, gardens and woods. 

But if you opt for a holiday apartment in Indre-et-Loire, it's probably because you're fond of castles, aren't you? Then it's time to visit the most beautiful chateaux of the Loire Valley, starting with Chambord, which combines the talent of Leonardo da Vinci with the dreams of grandeur of King Francis I: a splendour! And the gardens are not to be outdone. The fairytale appearance of the chateaux of Azay-le-Rideau and Chenonceau will enchant the most romantic. 

As for the Chateau de Cheverny... doesn't it mean anything to you? It is indeed the chateau that inspired Herge to create Moulinsart in The Adventures of Tintin. 

Then, why don't you take a trip to Tours? It is one of the major cities closest to your Richelieu holiday accommodation. You will discover an atmosphere worthy of a novel by Dumas, with the Cathedral of Saint Gatien, the Basilica of Saint Martin and the Museum of Fine Arts. Poitiers also has a rich historical heritage, with its many UNESCO listed buildings. Obviously, it's a habit to have style in this region! 

Notice to those with banquet appetites 
Did you know that the city of Tours has been awarded the "Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie" (international gastronomy city) label? Book a few evenings in the restaurants of this province where Rabelais was born. On the menu: fouace and fouee, rillons and rillettes, dry white wine and andouillettes!
 

Residence Le Relais du Plessis: your holiday accommodation in the countryside

Indre-et-Loire is the ideal region for time travel. In a single day, you can leave the court of Louis XIII and the 16th century chateaux to escape to the Futuroscope. The whole family can enjoy a day spent in this amusement park full of surprises and activities adapted for all ages. The Brenne Regional Nature Park will then provide a pleasant setting for nature walks. You will be amazed to walk along the paths of this authentic park, unchanged for centuries, just like in the days of the coaching inn. 

Why don't you go in search of the sword of Joan of Arc? This is a mission that will delight young Musketeers in search of thrilling adventures and legends. If so, go to Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois Church and listen carefully, in case you too hear voices. Listed as a historical monument, the church now serves as a stopover on the road to Santiago de Compostela. In terms of culinary specialties, the Loire Valley will change your life. Once you've tasted the goat cheese from Sainte-Maure and the Coteaux-du-layon, how can you do without it at the end of your holiday? There is only one answer: come back.
