Since the eleventh century, the Château de Chanzé has stood on the banks of the river Layon, a tributary of the Loire. A significant night in the Château's history was when King Henry IV slept here on a journey south. It is through castles such as this that the history and culture of the region live on and the Château de Chanzé offers you a unique opportunity to experience a part of French life. Having been meticulously restored, it offers all the modern comforts, while still retaining its original grandeur. The Château's impressive character is preserved in its two-meter-thick walls, high ceilings, and seventeenth and eighteenth century antique furniture. From the Château you can enjoy views over the river and surrounding countryside.
The Château has ample living space, both inside and out, to be enjoyed by you and your guests. The banqueting hall is the showpiece of Chanzé boasting a five-metre-long oak dining table and the largest fireplace in the region.
There is also a separate comfortable lounge with television and video, a library and a fully equipped kitchen for your convenience. Listening to music from the sound system or live on the grand piano in the hall is an unforgettable experience.
The well equipped kitchen lives up to even the most demanding hobby-cook's needs, should you or one of your friends want to cook up some local delicacies. Gourmets, who would like to feast in the regal atmosphere of the Château, find excellent catering in the "Relais de Bonnezeau" (details see Guide Michelin), 3 km from Chanzé in Thouarcé, where there is also a good supermarket, a tennis court and a public swimming hall to work it all off afterwards.
