About our region

Les Doinets is well situated for many of the region's famous attractions. Richelieu is 10 mintues away, Chinon 15 mintues, 45 minutes away are Saumur and the Doué Zoo, and an hour away is Futuroscope and Poitiers.

The attractions include:

Montreuil-Bellay

A pretty village to wander through with an elegant chateau, partly ramparts and fortified towers, overlooking terraced gardens leading down to the River Thouet.

Doué Zoo

Innovative split-level zoo built in an old quarry – probably the only place you can look a giraffe in the eye!

Saumur

Fairytale chateau sitting above the old quarter; once an important port and seat of learning, now famous for horses and sparkling wine!

Chinon

Joan of Arc underwent her famous transformation here from peasant to warrior; once the seat of power for both England and France under Henry Plantaganet. Now a pretty town of shops, restaurants and riverside walks.

Langeais

Feudal fortification that houses an elegant interior, now furnished to give a glimpse into aristocratic life in the middle ages.

Richelieu

The infamous Cardinal’s 17th Century moated town of classical mansions and avenues. The gardens of the now destroyed chateau are vast and glorious and worth a visit alone. Regular antiques and brocante fairs.

Ussé

White turrets offset by the dramatic backdrop of the Forêt de Chinon; Chateau Ussé is said to be the inspiration for the story of The Sleeping Beauty.

Chenonceau

What started as a manor house and watermill was transformed through the centuries by a succession of influential women into what is now a magnificent palace, stretching alongside and across the River Cher.
