Welcome to Les Hauts de Loire. While it is undeniably a magnificent 19th-century residence, it is also a place that adapts to your every desire. A gourmet haven for food lovers, a natural retreat for those who enjoy taking their time, a wellness sanctuary by Clarins, or a historic landmark near the Loire Valley châteaux—even sports enthusiasts will find their place here, with a tennis court, swimming pool, and shaded trails.
The Loire Valley, France at its most majestic
The Loire Valley, France at its most majestic
Like many regions in France overflowing with natural and heritage wonders, the Loire Valley is no exception. As the land of kings par excellence, a stay here offers you the chance to discover no fewer than 300 listed Renaissance châteaux, about a hundred of which are open to the public. Commonly referred to as the “Garden of France,” it could just as easily be called the “Vineyard of France” or the “Table of France,” given the sheer abundance of vines and the immense gastronomic richness.
Here, Bourgueil, Chinon, Vouvray, and Sancerre elevate your meals and complement the most demanding palates. This prestige is further confirmed by the region’s inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Built as a hunting lodge in the 19th century, Les Hauts de Loire offers all the charms of a prestigious country estate. It is neither too large to get lost in, nor too small, maintaining a sense of peace and disconnection the moment you step out of your room. Over the centuries, passionate owners have succeeded one another while preserving its original character. As a result, the building itself, its woodwork, its furniture, and even the artworks adorning the walls are a journey in their own right.
Today, thanks to meticulous restoration, you can enjoy an exceptional hotel steeped in history, while benefiting from all the modern facilities that will make your visit perfectly comfortable.

Beyond the benefits for the body, you will also find plenty to nourish the mind at Les Hauts de Loire. Wander through the hallways, admire the paintings on the walls, relax in the reading lounge, and, of course, be greeted upon your arrival by Pierre Yermia’s "Le Grand Cerf," which towers over the garden.
With a deep appreciation for art and culture across its properties, the H8 Collection group has made art a central feature at Les Hauts de Loire. You will find creations by Pierre Yermia as well as other artists, displayed throughout the gardens.
Better than in a museum, take the time to sit before one of these works and let yourself be inspired.
