Château de Vaugrignon

Château de Vaugrignon is a small château south of Tours, in an area historically dense with minor Loire Valley noble residences. It now operates as a bed and breakfast with a distinctive beer-themed spa offering.

Today its very small number of rooms (around 2), with garden views, flat-screen TV, and private bathrooms, are all within the château.

The château's location within a historically dense concentration of minor Loire Valley noble residences ties Vaugrignon to the wider regional pattern of small aristocratic estates south of Tours, distinct from the grander, more famous châteaux of the main Loire circuit.

The property's beer-themed spa, an unusual amenity for a French château-hotel, gives Vaugrignon a distinctive point of difference from the wine-focused wellness offerings typical of the region.

The château's genuinely tiny scale — around 2 rooms — makes it one of the most intimate properties in the entire France collection, closer to a private guesthouse than a hotel.

The château's position in Esvres, just 5 minutes from Veigné, gives guests staying at Vaugrignon easy access to the wider Montbazon area's cluster of château hotels and Tours itself.
