Château des Grotteaux

An exceptional geographical location to visit all the famous castles of the Loire Valley

Built in 1620 on the banks of the River Cosson (a few kilometers downstream from Chambord), the Château des Grotteaux is a jewel of 17th century architecture. The 33 hectare park is listed in the national Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments, and is enclosed by walls which provide a rare haven of peace. The restoration, both exterior and interior, gave in 2015 and 2016 a license to offer luxurious services and to restore the Château to its former glory.

The most beautiful reception rooms of the Castle are exclusively reserved for our guests.
