The G Man Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Saumur, great town on the banks of the Loire, finest white wines on the north bank, finest reds on the south. We stayed here http://www.lelondres.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Ditto Saumur, went there about 15 years ago and it is one of those places that you remember for all the right reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I lived in France for two years. I proposed to my wife when we visited the Loire valley. We were staying here...cannot recommend it enough to stay in for a night, very small town closeby called Usseau but stunning roads around it for driving and scenery. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g1842188-d729445-Reviews-Chateau_de_la_Motte-Usseau_Vienne_Poitou_Charentes.html - it is utterly stunning place to stay, think we paid about 85 euros a night for the Knights room which is the big one in the turret. Lovely owners who used to run a top class restaurant in Canada, so make sure if you go to ask them if you can eat with them in the evening.
