Best Western Hotel De France  

In the heart of medieval Vieux Chinon, a short walk from the Royal Fortress and the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Natural Park. This city-center stay sits steps from Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Maison de la Riviere, Domaine Couly-Dutheil and other Loire attractions — ideal for castle-view photos and strolls through cobbled streets.

Housed in a renovated 16th-century building, the property offers 28 individually decorated guestrooms. Many rooms have balconies overlooking the château and a charming square with a fountain. Rooms include complimentary Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, desks, hair dryers and toiletries. Note: no elevator; luggage assistance is available.

Take in the views from a rooftop terrace and rely on concierge and tour/ticket assistance to plan local excursions. The hotel also provides a banquet hall, a common TV area and discounted access to a nearby fitness facility. Wake up to chateau-view mornings and step straight into the Loire Valley vibe.

Event space and a meeting room (398 sq ft / 37 m²) for small gatherings. Services include express check-out, dry cleaning/laundry and multilingual staff. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout and paid parking/self-parking options are nearby.

On-site bar/lounge and a snack bar/deli keep things simple. Buffet breakfasts are served for a fee (weekday and weekend times vary) and limited-hours room service is offered. The location is a great base for sampling Loire Valley wines and regional bistros in town.
