Our review<\/h2>\n\n<p>The ch\u00e2teau des Forges, at the gates of Angers, aims to offer a contemporary vision of ch\u00e2teau life, even a trendy one, far from the world and the basic comfort of the Renaissance. Its many other assets make it, for us, an <strong>essential hotel on the outskirts of Angers<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/where-stay-angers-best-hotels-neighborhoods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(see all our favorites<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n<p>Eager to respond to the challenges of our society, the Ch\u00e2teau des Forges gives pride of place to <strong>nature<\/strong> (the lower Anjou valleys are a Natura 2000 area). It is certified <strong>European Ecolabel<\/strong> (NF 543), a standard that commits it to respecting a charter of 67 criteria on major environmental issues (reduction of energy consumption, waste, water....).  <\/p>\n\n<p>He is also committed to a more peaceful tourism, the <strong>slow tourism<\/strong>. This idea of slowing down, does not mean to turn to the past, but to take the time to appreciate the landscape, the decoration, a drink around the pool, a \"home-made\" breakfast... Life in short! And for that alone, it's <strong>a great hotel<\/strong>!  <\/p>\n\n<p>Sleeping in a ch\u00e2teau in the Loire Valley is a bit of a must.
