Le Seize - Self-catering house in Maine-et-Loire
Rue Jehanne d'Arc, 49730 Montsoreau, Maine-et-Loire
Western Loire,
Francia
Natural stone floors, high beamed ceilings and neutral colours give a contemporary, airy feel to the house. The living and dining area is roomy with a comfortable sofa and an old stone fireplace with a wood-burner for chilly evenings. A rectangular kitchen is well equipped (even with oyster knives, as this is Atlantic island oyster territory) and leads out to a pocket-sized courtyard. It's peaceful here for a morning cup of tea or evening apéros.
Step out to excellent restaurants, a fine 15th-century château open as a modern arts museum with rooftop dining and superb antique shops. Once a month there's a fabulous flea market too. Montsoreau is at the very heart of the UNESCO heritage site and everywhere you go you'll find a fine building, a vineyard and a pretty town or hamlet to discover.
Bedrooms have parquet floors, interesting art and good cotton sheets, bathrooms are small but perfectly formed with walk-in showers.

- Go for a relaxing stroll, follow the river towards Candes-Saint-Martin you won’t be disappointed. A beaux village just minutes from Le Seize. Enjoy the architecture. Wander to the wine bar by the river and try some new wines and “le snacking' Perfect!
- Sunday morning, the bustling market is the place to be. Buy local produce, have a glass of wine, watch the world go by, live like a local. The famous flea market ‘Les Puces de Montsoreau’ on the quayside is lively. Find that hidden treasure, maybe!
- Close by, the 11th century Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. It's a must do! Explore this spiritual and beautiful building, the final resting place of Richard the Lionheart. Dine in the Michelin star restaurant. Fabulous.! Wander around the pretty village.
- River trips on a traditional 'Toue Cabanee' is a must. Dine onboard and watch the sun setting over the river or for early birds, watch the rising sun. Silently, float down to Saumur, pass the troglo houses carved from the soft Tuffeau stone. Stunning!
- The Renaissance style château of Montsoreau, dominates the Loire. Inspired Alexandre Dumas to write his novel. Beautiful building to wander around. Contemporary art installations for added interest and a fabulous view from the top. Will it inspire you?
- Cycle along the river & visit the famous producers of sparkling wine; Ackerman, Gratien & Meyer, Bouvet Ladubay . In the heat of summer, go for a cycle ride deep in the cool caves, discover the history of wine making, have a tasting & cycle gently back.
