The Orangerie de la Touchardière

The most charming and light-filled Orangerie de la Touchardière was designed to combine refinement and sobriety.
This place offers comfort thanks to its high-quality assets, as well as sobriety so you may feel at home.

Whether you want to rent the Orangerie for a long week-end getaway or to stay with friends, for family holidays, or even for a family reunion, or because you are a fan of car racing (24 Hours of Le Mans, Mans Classique) or of equestrianism (Mondial du Lion-d’Angers and the Cadre Noir of Saumur), or for professional reasons, you will be given all our attention and hospitality, and we will guide you through your discovery of Anjou and to help you organise your activities if you wish it.

The Orangerie de la Touchardière comprises a 30-hectare (74-acre) enclosed park with a heated pool, in the midst of a 300-hectare (740-acre) estate.

Here you can take a stroll in the park, gaze at the singing birds, meet partridges and pheasants, and spot a couple of roe deer at the break of day.

Ground floor

You will reach the step-less ground floor through a warm and gorgeous room called “le Débotté“, where you will be able to have a tasty, friendly breakfast every morning.

Then, a light lounge and dining suite will let you share moments with your family or your friends, with a view on the light-bathing château and with direct access to the park and its century-old trees.

The pared down and refined decoration of the Orangerie gives you a soft, warm atmosphere for a relaxing stay.

The dining room and the lounge look out onto the château and the magnificent heather land.

The bedrooms

Our eight elegant, quiet, cosy bedrooms carry the names of the various farmsteads that are distributed across the Estate, and are located in each of the Orangerie’s wings.
