Unusual weekends in the Loire Valley: our choices<\/h2>\n\n

The Loire is an excellent destination for discovering very different environments: caves, castles, vineyards... Everyone can find something that inspires them.We've chosen not to list all the unusual accommodations that can be found just about everywhere nowadays (yurts, cabins in the woods), instead focusing on typical regional experiences that took our minds off everyday life.We hope you find it inspiring.<\/p>\n\n

1. Troglodyte weekend: cave hotel (near Saumur)<\/h2>\n\n

The hotel near Saumur<\/h3>\n\n

The region is rich in troglodyte attractions. You can even find hotels with swimming pools and\/or rooms in caves.Our favorite is the Demeure de la Vignole hotel.<\/p>\n\n

Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley vineyards, this establishment is sure to leave a lasting impression.In a unique troglodytic setting, you'll discover an incredible indoor swimming pool. If you look up, you'll see the rock that forms an integral part of the dwelling. We particularly liked this atypical, fairytale setting! The care taken to decorate our room made our stay all the more pleasant. We were totally convinced by the breakfast, which featured local produce.<\/p>\n\n
