Photo of Chateau Le Prieure

“Impressive 10th-century chateau overlooking the Loire River. Once used by Benedictine monks, the property is steeped in history, surrounded by parkland and has panoramic views. Plush suites, a gourmet restaurant and river-view terrace make this a perfect base from which to explore the region.”
