A romantic weekend in a Loire Valley castle

Where love and history embrace in the heart of France

Nestled in the heart of Touraine, Château Louise de La Vallière is the ideal sanctuary for a romantic escape. Once the retreat of Louise de La Vallière — the passionate first love of the Sun King and future duchess — this Renaissance gem offers the perfect setting for a royal romance. Just 25 kilometers from Tours, its elegant architecture, lush grounds, and opulent atmosphere recall the grandeur of bygone love stories, inviting you to write your own.

Château Louise de La Vallière: A sanctuary for lovers

In the family home of “she who loved the king, not the crown,” love takes center stage. Inspired by the pure heart and gentle nature of Louis XIV’s favorite, renowned designer Jacques Garcia infused the château with historical romance. Each of the twenty rooms and suites is a tribute to legendary women of passion — from Diane de Poitiers to Athénaïs de Montespan, from Marie-Antoinette to Marie Walewska — each with its own unique, luxurious decor.
The sensual ambiance and sumptuous comfort make this château an unrivaled setting for lovers. Every detail is a tribute to the pleasures of the senses.

A sensory journey through time

Stroll hand in hand through the château’s enchanting French gardens, beneath the shade of centuries-old trees, and breathe in the fragrance of Madame de La Vallière roses.
Every corner of the estate is designed as a timeless retreat, where the senses awaken in perfect harmony.

Share an intimate moment over a glass of Champagne in Le Saint-Evremond, the château’s elegant Champagne bar.
Then surrender to the magic of a candlelit dinner at L’Amphitryon, where the refined, emotion-filled cuisine of our Chef is a feast for both the eyes and the palate — an invitation to indulge, share, and fall in love all over again.

After a dreamlike night in your elegant boudoir, let the gentle birdsong awaken you. Your exceptional Sunday continues with L’Ambigu, the château’s exquisite brunch, served with a flute of Champagne to crown this enchanting escape.

Unique experiences for two

Craving nature and tranquility? Set off on an electric bike ride with a GPS-guided route and a gourmet picnic prepared by our Chef. Wander between vineyards and picturesque villages in the heart of authentic Touraine.

Prefer timeless elegance? Slip into a vintage convertible and let the breeze carry you along the majestic roads of the Loire Valley. Each château you pass is a whisper of France’s royal past, each landscape bathed in golden light — a portrait of pure romance, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Return from your escapade to the serene haven of Louise – La Rosée, the château’s spa named after Louise de La Vallière’s poetic nickname. A cocoon of calm and tenderness awaits, perfect for unwinding together.

Escape to the Château Louise de La Vallière — more than a castle, more than a hotel. It is a sanctuary of history, elegance, and romance, where love blooms in every moment, and time stands still.
