Le Manoir de Gâtines
| 
|
|
|
|
|
| Deep in the vineyards of the Layon region, on the outskirts of Tigné, there nestles a slate-roofed 16th century manor with falun stone walls and oak-tree rafters where the recipe for the French “douceur de vivre” has been preciously kept. You can choose the room that suits your mood: Yasmine's Room, with a touch of Morocco, Anais ’s Garden, with a smell of Provence, Héloise’s Boudoir, with a cosy feel of the past or Edgar’s Haven, with a sense of sobriety and refinement. Table d'hôtes upon booking.
