Manoir de Foncher - Bed & Breakfast in Indre-et-Loire
Manoir de Foncher
Lieu dit fonche, 37510 Villandry, Indre-et-Loire
Loire Valley,
France
History runs deep here: the Manoir dates from the 14th century, an 11th-century monastery once existed on the same site and the Romans built a temple here too. The owner lets out just one pretty suite (sleeps up to five) with a balcony so you'll have the place and grounds almost to yourself. You feast on delicious breakfasts – Nathalie is a skilled pastry chef – either in the magnificent guard hall in front of a roaring fire burning in the medieval hearth or the garden on fine days.
The location is spectacular, at the point where the Loire and Cher rivers say hello on the opposite side to the Château de Villandry – a gentle hour's stroll away and a must-visit for the spectacular interiors and world-famous gardens. The entire treasure trove of Loire châteaux are close by, interesting towns with lively brocante markets too. Hire bikes and kayaks in Savonnières for tours beside or on the water.

Local points of interest from Nathalie Salles:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Nathalie Salles:
- Foncher has a long history, dating back to the early 10th century. As a fief belonging to the Château of Tours, it was notably a priory, property of the Abbey of Marmoutier and under the authority of Henry II, King of England.
- Restored in 1963, the Manoir de Foncher, ‘stamped’ by the Plantagenets, is now listed in the Directory of Historic Monuments. Our manor and its medieval setting will provide you with a unique and timeless experience.
- Ideally located, the Manoir de Foncher offers a privileged spot from which to discover the Loire Valley’s rich history and its many châteaux, notably Villandry and its famous gardens only 5km away.
- Food and wine lovers can enjoy the vineyards of Chinon and discover the delights of Touraine gastronomy.
- Discover exceptional landscapes and UNESCO world heritage sites through local hiking routes or via the Loire à Vélo (the Loire by bike) trail across the Loire Anjou Touraine Regional Natural Park.
- You will enjoy our cultural heritage and the richness of local life through the wide choice of activities that await you.
