Less than 2 hours from Paris and open all year round, the Domain of Chaumont-sur-Loire overlooks the river, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a cultural landscape.
Not far from the Domain of Chaumont-sur-Loire, a living environment surrounded by nature, with relaxation as the watchword, “Le Bois des Chambres” combines forms of extraordinary inventiveness, whether they apply to guests’ comfort, the services on offer, or respect for the environment. Poetic and resolutely unconventional, the hotel cultivates a spirit of creation, encouraging reading, cultural discovery and exchanges, and resisting any temptation to standardise emotions and sensations. There’s no point in looking for a television in the rooms. There aren’t any!
Located on the site of the former farmhouse itself, the restaurant "Le Grand Chaume" welcomes aficionados of authentic fine dining in an altogether atypical architectural and decorative setting. In keeping with the sophistication celebrated over the centuries by the Domain’s illustrious owners, the interior decoration is based on an ongoing dialogue with the amazing roof frame, which the architects have left visible and transformed into nothing less than a deep-blue night sky pierced by a myriad white arrows like so many comets chasing each other through the heavens.
The Domain’s emblematic event, the International Garden Festival is an international rendezvous on no account to be missed out on, devoted to creation, imagination, poetry and nature. Recognised by garden professionals and amateurs alike since 1992, it welcomes landscapers and designers from all four corners of the globe with each passing year.
2024 theme: The life-source garden
Each year the Centre for Arts and Nature invites internationally renowned artists and photographers to come and create unprecedented and original works on the theme of nature. Scattered across the 32 hectares of the site, the works of art – the fruit of a genuine meeting between the minds of the artists and the spirit of the Domain – offer visitors an introductory tour rich in discoveries, surprises and emotions.
Overlooking the River Loire, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a cultural landscape, the Château of Chaumont-sur-Loire is one of the most remarkable châteaux of the Loire Valley. Property of Queen Catherine de’ Medici followed by her rival, Diane de Poitiers, during the 16th century, the château has welcomed a number of famous figures throughout its history including Nostradamus, the sculptor Nini, Benjamin Franklin and Germaine de Staël. At the end of the 19th century, it underwent an intensely influential period filled with high-society parties as the Princess de Broglie, the last private owner of the Domain, brought extraordinary modernity to the Château.
