Castle in Saint-Règle near Amboise
The Château des Arpentis was formerly a fief and a lordship under Amboise. It is built in the commune of Saint-Règle and stands at the foot of the hillside, on the banks of the Lamasse stream. The village's location is remarkable, 3 kilometers from the Royal City of Amboise in the heart of Touraine, halfway between Tours and Blois. The first known lord was Christophe Thomas in 1313. Around 1410, the castle became the property of Jean du Bois, steward to the Duke of Guise. In the 16th century, it belonged to men-at-arms, then, in 1612, to Louis Charles d'Albert, Duke of Luynes, at whose home King Louis XIII dined on June 20, 1619. The walls of the moat surrounding the castle and supporting the terrace date from the 17th century. The terrace is dotted with casemates, some of which are still preserved. The building was extensively restored in the 19th century. Now, this property sits majestically in the middle of a peaceful 30-hectare wooded park, crossed by the Lamasse stream and its pond. You will be staying in the heart of the Loire Valley and Touraine. Our hotel is located near Amboise (3 kilometers) and less than an hour's drive from the most famous Loire Valley châteaux: Chenonceau, Villandry, Chambord, and many others. Our château-hotel is an invitation to slow down, enjoy a peaceful stay, and immerse yourself in nature! Discover this little corner of paradise near Amboise!
