Holiday Accommodation Bourgueil

Bourgueil self-catering accommodation is set in one of France’s best-loved holiday regions. The area features a uniquely high amount of beautiful chateaux, even for the Loire Valley region, and many of these historic buildings are open to the public. Bourgeil gites are also found in a part of France with no fewer than three of the country’s “most beautiful villages“, at Montresor, Crissay-sur-Manse and Candes-Saint-Martin. The area is also noted for its stunningly beautiful countryside, which is well protected thanks its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to some of France’s most important vineyards. The River Loire is of course an essential attraction for anyone visiting Bourgueil accommodation – as well as offering some truly beautiful scenery; France’s longest river is ideal for host of water-based activities.

Bourgueil self-catering cottages are within a short drive of some of France’s most beautiful chateaux – in fact there are more in the region than can be visited in one holiday. Still, perhaps the most famous in the area is Chateau d’Amboise, which commands a view of its surrounding town. It’s a building with a tumultuous history and is listed as a “monument historique” by the French government. Another must-see chateau for visitors to self-catering holiday rentals in Bourgueil is the Chateau d’Azay-le-Rideau, which dates back to the 16th Century and has a picturesque waterside setting. For a taste of French rural life it’s well worth exploring some the charming villages close to Bourgueil gites. Crissay-sur-Manse boasts pretty homes made from the region’s distinctive white stone, as well as the ruins of a 15th Century castle.
