Arrival and Transportation
Private chauffeurs, cabriolet rentals, and other transfer arrangements can be organised to suit your journey.

Accommodation

• Rooms and Suites: Twelve double rooms and two single en-suites offer an elegant stay. Experience prestigious family suites within the château, as well as self-catering flats in the adjoining cottage.
• Historic Grounds: Set on 100 acres of private parkland, the château features romantic gardens enclosed by 16th-century fortifications, a family chapel, and an impressive collection of antiques, oil paintings, and tapestries.

A Living Heritage
Immerse yourself in the art de vivre as Château Le Mans presents a true family heritage dating back to the 14th century. The château’s interior, rich with tapestries, ancestral portraits, and antiques, is complemented by modern comforts.

Four main reception rooms, meticulously restored to honour different historical periods, add to the charm. Local artisans have expertly revitalised these spaces, preserving the château’s character while maintaining authenticity.

• The Fire Room (“Pièce à Feu”): The oldest section of the château, this room includes a monumental fireplace that once served as the home’s central source of warmth. Two architectural features stand out: an accessible well and a small, recessed seating area. Despite modifications over time, this room offers an intriguing look at 15th-century château life.
• Salon Rose: Step into the 16th century with this room, which holds a fireplace redone in the 19th century and a family coat of arms bearing Breton ermine. With its windows and spacious layout, Salon Rose reveals a shift towards more refined comfort.
• The Great Dining Room (La Grande Salle à Manger): Located in the 17th-century wing, this dining room has a ceremonial quality, with a grand china cabinet and a suite of furniture undergoing careful restoration to revive their original colours, unbleached by over 250 years of daylight.

Self-Catering Cottages
Two newly renovated cottages offer self-catering options for guests who prefer independence while being steps away from the château’s amenities. Perfect for family gatherings or private explorations of the Loire Valley, Chartres Cathedral, and the surrounding countryside.

Exclusive Events and Gatherings
For a memorable family gathering or celebration, the château offers a luxurious and intimate setting, with elegant reception rooms and gardens tailored to suit any occasion. Countess Connections ensures the success of each event with skilled service providers and bespoke arrangements for ceremonies, cocktails, brunches, and more.

The Gardens and Grounds
Wander through the 40 hectares of parkland, preserved and curated with care. The golden ochre façade of the château is adorned with climbing plants that highlight its architectural beauty. Throughout the year, the gardens present a changing tapestry of colours and scents, from springtime blooms to the romance of roses, lilacs, wisteria, lilies, dahlias, tulips, and more. Each morning, fresh bouquets from the garden grace the château’s rooms.

The Kitchen Garden
The château’s table is complemented by fresh, seasonal produce grown onsite: salads, courgettes, green beans, peppers, artichokes, tomatoes, and an assortment of fruits including apples, pears, grapes, and figs. Local suppliers further enrich the menu with exceptional regional products.

New Swimming Pool
The château’s south-facing swimming pool, measuring 15 x 5 metres, overlooks the expansive garden and park. Set beside 16th-century fortification walls, lounge chairs bask in the afternoon sun, while shaded seating under plane trees offers a cool respite.

Experience the unique blend of history, comfort, and natural beauty that defines Château Le Mans and make your stay in the Loire Valley truly unforgettable.
