Domain of Beauvois ****
37230 LUYNES
Opening 2007 : March

Description

Here nature is king. In the midst of a 350-acre park, next to the banks of the Loire river and the pond Briffaut, where Louis XIII is said to have hunted birds. In the heart of this legendary landscape is a beautiful building with a 15th century tower that is mirrored in a reflecting pool. A beautiful place at the gates of Tours, filled with charm and tranquillity. Since its transformation in 1967, the Domaine has been constantly embellished and enlarged, but its style has been maintained. It is an oasis of peace which stars of the arts and show business, such as Robert de Niro, Jessye Norman and Grace Kelly or the leading racing drivers in the Le Mans 24-hour race found attractive.
