Chateau de Pray lies in the heart of the
prestigious Loire Chateaux Region. A mile west of the town center,
this château from 1224 resembles a tower-flanked castle on the Rhine.
Inside, you'll find antlers, hunting trophies, and a paneled drawing
room with a fireplace and a collection of antique oils.
There are 19 rooms at your disposal. The ones in the main building
were renovated in 1998 and are conservative and comfortable. The
more spacious rooms are near the ground floor, you’ll certainly
particularly appreciate the canopied four poster beds. Small but
well-organized bathrooms contain tubs and showers. The restaurant,
elected "Table de qualité" by Alain Ducasse, offers Loire cuisine
and fixed-price menus of excellent quality; reservations are
required.
Leisure is well known in the chateau region, wine tasting, chateaux
visits, medieval buildings but for nature lovers: the Aquarium de
Touraine with typical Loire river fish, and the Chinon, Bourgueil
and Vouvray vineyards and cellars. Golf, horse riding, tennis an
cycling facilities also nearby.
