Le Ragois de Bretonvilliers - Time travel in Richelieu

Stay at Le Ragois de Bretonvilliers, a manor house built in 1633, nestled in an authentic and warm atmosphere where the spirit of the 19th century is still palpable.
Over the centuries—from the 17th to the 19th century—the estate has evolved while retaining its original character. Historical elements blend harmoniously with modern comforts, creating a stay full of elegance and cosiness.
During the restoration, the focus was deliberately placed on preserving the original features rather than undertaking a uniform modernization, in order to maintain the house’s vibrant spirit.
Le Ragois de Bretonvilliers is a charming estate in the historic village of Richelieu, designated a “Petite Cité de Caractère” in the heart of southern Touraine.
The house is located in a secluded setting and guarantees peace, privacy, and independence throughout your stay. The private, peaceful, and lush garden is completely enclosed and accessible through a large gate. It invites you to relax, read, or enjoy outdoor meals in complete tranquility.
You’ll be staying near some of the most beautiful châteaux of the Loire Valley, including the Château de Chinon, the Château du Rivau, Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, Château d’Ussé, Château de Villandry, and Château de Saumur.
The Futuroscope theme park is also easily accessible for a day trip with family or friends.
The Chinon–Richelieu bike path is ideal for exploring the region and its cultural heritage by bike. Visitors can also take a walk or go jogging in Richelieu’s public park with its wide, shady avenues.
Richelieu’s weekly market offers a wonderful opportunity to experience local life and sample regional specialities.
