Fairytale chateau and gite sleeping 36 with a swimming pool and gym, for celebrations and holidays in the Loire Valley

Chateau de la Motte Henry, Le Mans, Pays de la Loire, France, sleeps 15-36 in 15 bedrooms.

Sleeps up to 36 in the chateau and gite:
The chateau sleeps 30+
The gite sleeps 6

The property is ideal for friends and family groups for holidays or celebrations. Weddings and other celebrations have been held in the grounds of the chateau and we would be happy to liaise with your planners.

The chateau is set within a 9 hectare estate with a lake, woodland, meadow, lawns, rose garden, Italian garden and orchard. The medieval motte which is within the grounds is listed in the Historic Monuments in France. The chateau has a mention in The Times top 20 chateaux.

The chateau has two spacious sitting rooms, a dining room, library, WC and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. The 12 bedrooms and the bathrooms are on the upper floors. The third floor comprises a large studio and treatment room. Within the grounds there is a swimming pool and very well equipped gym.

The gite has three double rooms, a bathroom and open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room. The floor plans show the sleeping arrangements. Where there are doors between bedrooms these can be adjoiners, or separate rooms. There is the possibility of extra beds (in the form of truckle beds which are under the existing beds).

The chateau is located in an idyllic location in the Western Loire Valley of France, and is only 2km away from the nearest town with everything one could want: supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, bars, even its own racecourse. The nearest city is (Laval) 15km away, and features a high-speed train connection. Laval is only 1 hour 10 minutes from Paris by train. We are also equidistant to all of the castles of the Loire Valley, Mont St. Michel, the Normandy Beaches, and Brittany, as well as many attractions locally.

The chateau is easily accessible by plane, train, car or ferry.

On-site activities include a 1.5km running trail, fishing, boating and relaxing! There is a decked entertainment area over the lake and several barbecue areas.
