A new gem in the Relais & Châteaux collection, Château Louise de La Vallière is a hotel offering 5-star services and a gastronomic restaurant, nestled within a forest in the heart of Touraine, one of France’s loveliest provinces and near the royal town of Amboise. This 16th-century château served as the first holiday residence of the young Louise, future Duchess of La Vallière and the Sun King’s great love.

A few centuries later, thanks to the passion of its current owner, Mira Grebenstein, this wonder of the Renaissance has regained all its original splendor and nobility. This exceptional hotel will offer guests a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in French history. This experience is possible through the singular vision of its interior designer Jacques Garcia. The hotel has twenty rooms and suites, a gourmet restaurant, and a spa will each offer an incomparable setting for an exceptional stay.
