Location :

Châteauvieux is a picturesque village located at the bottom of a rocky spur where the castle culminates, 5 minutes from the ZooParc de Beauval, in the heart of the many castles of the Loire, such as Chenonceaux, Amboise, Montpoupon, Valençay, Blois, Chambord, Loches ...

Châteauvieux is a treasure trove of discoveries! Start with a walk through the village, then go hiking along the troglodyte dwellings... Don't miss the castle with its Renaissance main building, remodeled in the 19th century and built on feudal remains. Next door, the early 13th-century church and its 15th-century seigneurial chapel adjoin the old cemetery where Royer-Collard, a 19th-century philosopher and politician, is buried. Finish your walk with the hydraulic balance.

The paths around the cottage are ideal for hiking!

New for 2025! Construction of a cycle route along the Cher River and the Berry Canal, which connects Montluçon to Tours. Named "Heart of France by Bike," this 300-km route is a true journey to the center of France. This route allows tourists to discover the sights of the Cher Controis Valley at their own pace. From the dungeon of Montrichard Val de Cher to the castle of Selles-sur-Cher, passing by the ZooParc de Beauval and the canal bridge of Châtillon-sur-Cher. https://shorturl.re/veloroute

Our favorites:

- Restaurant "La Cocotte 41 " is the village restaurant, you can go there on foot. A safe bet but preferably book & come from Jean-Charles! On this square, at the time, it was our schoolyard and the restaurant, our canteen! https://lacocotte41.com/

- The Meusnes Inn. Located in a small village in Loir et Cher, surrounded by wine-growing areas (between the Touraine and Valençay AOPs), come and enjoy a good meal or a good time with friends, in a neo-vintage setting with a biker feel.
