Manoir de Jouralem - 4 Bedroom (Sleeps 10) Chateau in Loire Valley

Description

Step back in time in this 16th-century French manoir, lovingly preserved and set in the heart of the Anjou vineyards. Manoir de Jouralem offers the rare combination of historic character, tranquillity and comfort, making it ideal for families or groups looking for an unforgettable Loire Valley stay.

Surrounded by pretty countryside, historic châteaux and vineyards, the manor provides a peaceful rural retreat while remaining close to charming market towns, riverside restaurants and some of France’s most celebrated heritage sites. Whether you’re planning relaxed family meals, lazy days in the garden or exploring the Loire, this is a holiday home designed for living well.

Manoir de Jouralem is located in Anjou, in the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage region celebrated for its châteaux, vineyards, rivers and gentle way of life. The local boulangerie is in St Saturnin sur Loire, just 2.5km away and easy to reach by car or bicycle. The closest town with plenty of shops and amenities is Brissac-Quincé, just 6km away and home to France's tallest château.
