Experience the charm of a French small town in a 19th century village house which used to be the stable for the nearby Belvedere.

Located 10 minutes from Amboise - by car - one of the most visited cities in France, recently listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
A separate entrance - from a cobblestone yard - takes you to your French nest.
Although you can cook at home, meals are a special treat in the area! You can help yourself from twice-weekly open-air market and local shops.
Free public parking is available just nearby.
Many of our guets find it easier to travel to the Loire Valley by train and hire a car at Saint Pierre des Corps station where you have high speed trains (TGV) from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.

Our stay in this house has been very good. After each busy day of visiting chateaux and wandering through medieval towns it was nice to come "home" and relax knowing we had hot water and comfy beds. Our favourite chateaux were Chenonceau, Azay le Rideau and Cheverny. Thank you Dominique for excellent restaurant recommandations: la Doucette and la Sarrasine, and wine tasting at Bruno's Domaine de la Grange. Bléré is a pretty little town and central to all wanted to do. Thank you John, Penny, Tom and Heather from CanadaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids, aged 13 and 15) stayed at La Chevalerie for 5 nights on our recent holiday in France. The property was very comfortable, with 2 good sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a spacious living area, although the kitchen was quite small. The location was fantastic - very central to many sights in the Loire Valley, and we spent a lovely day riding bikes around Blere and to Chateaux de Chenonceau. We also swam in the local public pool, a short walk from La Chevalerie. There was a good boulangerie nearby as well as a couple of supermarches in walking distance as well. The only parking for this property is on the street, but it was not difficult to find a spot each day. La Chevalerie is a nice, private, quiet place to stay that is recommended for anyone exploring the Loire Valley.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

What a delightful surprise to find not only the charm of a historic Carriage House AND modern comfort as well. It's located in the center of Blere a charming historic town, yet totally private with it's own courtyard. My husband and I enjoyed the luxury of a very spacious house and warm furnishings. A family could easily enjoy a good measure of privacy here with room to play. We'd enthusiastically recommend this listing for numerous reasons. We loved the house, the historic town, our hosts, numerous, delicious restaurants, and proximity to most chateaux, Chenonceau, the crown jewel of the Loire is very close by. The outdoor markets featured numerous stands with friendly vendors selling their local fare. We regaled in the season's new white asparagus, and scurried back to our Carriage House with the bounty of the market...roasted chicken, white asparagus, sausages, salads, wine, and cheese! oh the cheese! Fabulous! A spring lunch on our private terrace was definitely a highlight of our stay. Dominique, our charming hostess next door, was generous with her knowledge of the history of the environs and shared the secrets of out of the way places that would not otherwise be known to travelers. We felt like locals. French for a week! We're already making plans for a return visit. Thanks Dominique, for helping make our stay memorable!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are so happy you enjoyed your stay in Bléré and wish you a great trip in France. We hope to see you again, warm regards
