La Mère Hamard  

On Mimizan Plage’s oceanfront, halfway between Arcachon and Biarritz, Hôtel de France drops you steps from surf and sand. In the charming village of Semblançay, ten kilometres from Tours, La Mère Hamard sits on the Loire Valley castle route near Amboise, Chenonceau and Blois and is pet-friendly — perfect for château runs.

Hôtel de France is run by surf-loving owners and offers comfortable rooms, some with ocean views, plus storage for bikes, surfboards and motorcycles. La Mère Hamard is a classic Touraine residence blending authenticity and well-being, with cosy rooms (TV noted), a library and a welcoming village-vibe for slow mornings.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings at Hôtel de France and plug into surf clubs for surfing, swimming, sailing or canoeing; private parking and a garage for boards and bikes make it easy. La Mère Hamard serves local hospitality with a restaurant, a playroom for kids, a tour desk for château excursions, plus laundry, dry cleaning and concierge services.

Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout both properties, and both offer on-site parking — a handy combo for remote work or road-trip logistics.

La Mère Hamard tempts with local Touraine cuisine and coffee with a view of the village; taste regional flavors before you head out to the castles. Hôtel de France connects you to seaside life and nearby surf-club culture for casual bites and beachside energy.
