The Barn is wonderfully placed for walking, cycling and generally enjoying the countryside as well as being centrally located for the chateau and vineyards.

The Barn is secluded and separated from our two other cottages at Vrigny and is therefore ideal for a couple hoping for a private and romantic holiday.

Our cottages are situated in the heart of chateau country in the Loire Valley, valley of the French Kings.  We are well placed for visiting these wonderful historic castles;  favourites include Chenonceau (just a short drive or cycle ride), ASmboise, Blois, Chambord, Chaumont and Cheverny, and west of Tours, Villandry, Ussé, Azay-le-Rideau.. 

We are also in the centre of the Touraine wine growing region;  our local wines are the Gamay grape, Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.  We are close to Vouvray renowned for its dry and sweet wines made with the Chenin grape.  We are also within an hour’s drive of Chinon, Saumur and Bourgeuil renowned for their Cabernet Franc.  Chinon is particularly interesting with its mediaeval streets and it was the site of the very first French Parliament.Visit Sancerre and Pouilly only a two hour drive by motorway and across country from the mediaeval city of Bourges, itself famous for its Cathedral.

Hi Ann

Have just got back to UK. The Barn was absolutely wonderful! We spent a lot of time at rest under the trees in the orchard as it was so hot. The best restaurant was by far, the Roserie. I have already recommended the Barn it and will continue so. We will certainly stay again when next in the area. Very impressed with all the information sent and a particular thanks for booking the Son et Lumiere which had our tickets ready for us. Thanks again for making our holiday a bit special.

Kind Regards, Harry

Dear Ann,

Just a note to say thank you very much for the use of the Barn at Vrigny in September this year. We enjoyed our stay very much. The barn was beautiful and the location “perfect”, and we loved the walnut tree. The location enabled us to visit many of the chateaux from Chinon to Bois. We visited all that we had planned for. We also loved the local markets and villages. We would love to visit again. Thank you again for relaxing, stress free accommodation.

Kind regards, Robin and Dennis

Dear Ann
