Château de la Ruche - Bed & Breakfast in Sarthe
Chateau de la Ruche, 72290 Teille, Pays de la Loire, Sarthe
Western Loire,
Francia
Turning into the long drive your first glimpse of La Ruche, in the peaceful isolation of its pretty park will gladden weary travellers. You’re treated to restored 18th-century elegance along with luxurious beds and bathrooms, quirky vintage finds (Tim’s a keen ‘up-cycler’….) and drawing rooms to repair to.
Rebecca loves to cook so do dine in - on the best local and seasonal food; French-inspired with English twists; preceded by a friendly cocktail. Breakfasts are generous too with great pastries and preserves.
Arrange a special celebration here, or a Le Mans group visit and every detail will be seen to. Take the path to the Sarthe river or hop in the car to visit local villages and châteaux. Swim in the lake at Sille-le-Guillaume; head for the Alpes Mancelles for kayaking, hiking, biking.

Local points of interest from Rebecca & Tim Jones:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Rebecca & Tim Jones:
- The bustling market in Place des Jacobins by the Cathedral in Le Mans on Wednesday and Sunday mornings and all day on Friday is a must for food lovers. Sit and watch the world go by at one of the cafes on the square too.
- Stroll through the ancient streets of the Plantagenet cité of Old Town Le Mans - up the steps beside the cathedral. Perfect for history lovers, especially if the Tudors are your thing. Wear flat shoes because cobblestones abound.
- Through July and August at dusk Old Town Le Mans is lit up by a magnificent light show - Nuits des chimères. Perfect for a balmy evening stroll post supper.
- Car lovers can lose a day exploring the Le Mans 24hr Museum at the world-famous racetrack. Bring your fancy car with you (we have lots of secure off-street parking) and treat yourself to a track day. Or ask us about our bespoke Le Mans race weekends.
- Many of the Loire Valley châteaux, as well as the beautiful towns and vineyards of Saumur, Tours and Angers are just an hour from our Petit Château - the perfect day trip for wine lovers and Château hunters.
- Searching for antiques and bargains? Ask us about our favourite brocante haunts, we're happy to share our secrets.
