Your Tranquil Retreat in the Heart of the Loire
Nestled in the charming hamlet of Fromenteau, between the historic towns of La Roche-Posay and Yzeures-sur-Creuse, Les Sorels offers a peaceful escape in one of France’s most picturesque regions. Steeped in history and elegance, our property was once the birthplace of Agnès Sorel, the beloved mistress of King Charles VII, adding a touch of romance and legacy to your stay.
Beyond the serenity of Les Sorels, the Loire Valley offers a blend of culture, nature, and relaxation. Bike through rolling countryside dotted with vineyards and villages, or unwind at the healing thermal spa in La Roche-Posay. Explore historic sites like Château d'Azay-le-Rideau and the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, and savor local wines and cheeses at nearby markets. For adventure, try canoeing on the Creuse River or take a scenic trip to the Loire’s magnificent châteaux.
At the end of each day, return to the comfort of Les Sorels, where you can unwind on your private deck or garden space with a glass of crisp Chenin Blanc – the perfect way to toast to a day well spent.
