The neighbourhood

Valençay castle
The closest to Bel être.The domain of Valençay has a rather long history starting in 1803 when Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord acquired it. The château was built over three centuries and combines several styles of architecture without disrupting the overall harmony of the structure. On the contrary, it is one of the most prestigious buildings in the Loire Valley. Start your visit here

“We have just returned from a wonderful week at Bel Etre. We stayed in Berry - beautifully decorated and well equipped. The pool is fabulous - indoors when the weather is poor and the doors can all open when the suns out. Claude and Luc are so welcoming whilst also giving you privacy. Valencay and Chenonceau are nearby. Highly recommend”

Bel Etre has been my favourite French holiday ever - and I've been on a few.

“Bel Etre has been my favourite French holiday ever - and I've been on a few. The site is so relaxing, and Claude and Luc are so kind and helpful, they really have thought of everything. The freshly delivered croissants and bread every morning were incredible, and the indoor pool is an absolute delight - temperature is great all day and perfect for a night swim. We loved every minute and will definately be back!”
