What could be more appropriate, when setting out to tackle the Châteaux of the Loire Valley, than to be able to actually stay in one of them? The château-monastery de La Corroirie opens a door into the History of the Touraine. Come live at the pace as these historic buildings, comprising a church dating from 1208 in the Plantagenet style, fortifications, a prison, a drawbridge, etc., situated on a 150-hectare property. Uncluttered style, sober and elegant in the natural colors of the stone and the floor-tiles on the ground, dressed in a linen bedhead, two contemporary night tables, and endowed with a shower-room with shower and toilets.
