About the host
Hosted by Phil Bignet
Phil and Sandrine Bignet bought the property from their former English owners in November 2021. Phil and Sandrine are totally bilingual and both work in communications, with advanced interpersonal skills. They are very much involved in tourism and will be happy to offer advice on how to make the best use of your stay in the area, should you require it. Phil is a freelance conference interpreter and Sandrine is a Marketing executive with IBM.
We have two children, Marion and Antoine, 28 and 24 years old. Marion works in Paris as a consultant in digital transformation, and Antoine is in his last year of chemical engineering. We also have a very friendly cat named Zephyre and acouple of hens which kids love to pat, and love to eat their eggs.

Why they chose this property
Phil and Sandrine spent 9 months travelling between the Loire Valley, Bourgogne and Charente, before choosing Monteaux last year. Why? Because of its central location, excellent road and rail links. There's a main railway station just a few minutes up the road from where you can take a train to Paris (2 hours) and the main Paris-Bordeaux motorway is just 20 minutes away.
The property offers the best of both worlds: calm and relaxation in the beautiful one acre grounds and the accessability to towns and attractions (Amboise, Tours and Blois).
Amboise, just a 15 minute drive away, has a fantastic Sunday morning market where you can find virtually anything from food (wonderful local fruits and vegetables), plants, clothes, hardware to furniture - and lots more. The castle and the Clos Lucé (Leonardo de Vinci's last home) are centrally located and there's a wonderful choice of cafés, bistros, restaurants in the town centre. In July and August, enjoy the wonderful sound and light (son et lumière) shows in the grounds of the castle.
Amboise also boasts the largest freshwater aquarium in Europe and on the Loire you can rent canoes and kayaks. The current takes you effortlessly downstream and is an experience you'll never forget. You'll soon realise why the Loire Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
