Castle with Renaissance gardens with Italian terraces, a troglodytic chapel and the tufa cellars.
Set against a 60-hectare park, Château de Valmer features superb Renaissance gardens whose Italian-style terraces follow the slope of the hillside, creating a unique panorama. Over eight levels and a difference in height of some thirty meters, the gardens feature balustrades, statues, columns, staircases and fountains, as well as a checkerboard of colors and flavors. Also worth seeing is a troglodytic chapel dating from 1524, housing an exceptional 15th-century altar. Vouvray wines are aged in the tufa stone cellars; 6 of the 29 hectares are located within the park.

Cadre magnifique, vue splendide au coucher du soleil...
MAIS... dénicher des charcuteries et des fromages d'aussi piètre qualité au pays de Rabelais et Balzac tient du prodige !
Quant au cocktail Lemon : faire payer 8 € pour 2 centimètres au fond d'un minable gobelet en carton, c'est purement et simplement du vol. Quelle déception !
Giardino stupendo, castello piccolo, ma tenuto da dio. Possibilità di momenti di gioco per tutta la famiglia, personale accogliente e disponibile... ben fatto, signori, mi piacerebbe trovare più strutture così anche in Italia!
