Ibis Blois Centre: A safe bet in Blois

We stayed at the Ibis Hotel in the centre of Blois.

I am always happy to stay at Ibis Hotel's when we just need a place to sleep that we know will be clean and comfortable.

CHEZ MR ET MME CLERQUIN: CHAMBRES D'HOTES

September 23, 1998
When we started looking for a place to stay for the night, we saw a "Chambres D'Hotes" sign and followed it to a neat and tidy little place. The owner greeted us as we pulled up into the driveway and showed us a cute little room where we decided to stay for the night. CHEZ MR ET MME CLERQUIN was a great choice as it was close ( 3 km) to the "ville d'Amboise" and in the heart of the Loire Chateaus "au coeur de chateaux de la Loire".

Unique Quality: For the price of 220 francs ($55.00 CDN) you got a comfortable place to stay and a lovely breakfast in the morning.

The Ibis: The Budget Hotel

The Ibis hotel which I recommend is for budget travellers. As all the other Ibis Hotels, it's clean, functional but not beautiful.

Unique Quality: They have a great buffet breakfast. We stayed at the Ibis Hotel near the train station as the tourist office is just across the street and that is where we joined half-day tours to the castles.

Domaine de la Chapelle: Lovely B&B . . . or rent a house!

We spent a delightful three weeks in the gite rural (country cottage) of Domaine de la Chapelle. It is owned by Phillip and Rebecca Sacker, an adventurous and pleasant British couple, who have moved to France and are sharing their domaine with guests. In addition to the two-bedroom gite, there are four Bed & Breakfast rooms that are utterly charming. They have all been decorated by Rebecca with antique quilts and found objects. One B&B room retains the original beams from the barn they have converted into a B&B.

Rebecca serves breakfast with her own jams and preserves and Phillip will be delighted to show you the 15th century chapel that is part of their property. You can arrange to have dinner served and Rebecca is an excellent cook. Enjoy!

I've listed the B&B prices below and the rooms are 60 to 72 euros a night depending on the room you choose. Because VirtualTourist requires a "per person per night" listing, the gite prices are difficult to list. Gites normally charge by the week so plan on 295 to 525 euros per week depending on the season. Do be sure to check the Domaine's web site for up-to-date information and prices.

Unique Quality: The location is magic, perched on a hill overlooking vineyards and the lovely river Cher. There are wonderful walks in all directions and you are in the heart of the Loire chateau country. There must be at least a dozen famous chateaus within a half hour drive and quite a few more not-so-famous but equally charming.

The grounds contain benches for relaxing, a childrens' play area, many fruit and nut trees, umbrella tables for outdoor dining and the lovely 15th century chapel. Phillip said they recently had guests who renewed their wedding vows in the chapel on an anniversary. It appeared that it would be a lovely site for a wedding too.

The gite not only has a private yard and patio, it has a complete kitchen including a dishwasher and clothes washing machine. These can be difficult to find in gites. The bathrooms in all the rooms and the gite are completely modern, spotless and sparkling.

Best Western Cloyes sur le Loire: Best Western

Even though this is a chain hotel it doesn't feel likeit. The decor is Freanch but basic and the rooms are spacious enough. Since we have been travelling with our baby we have found that Best Western is a moderately priced hotel with the amenities we needed (kettle and fridge)..

Unique Quality: The hotel is very quaint from the outside and has typical architecture in the small village. There is a dining room for breakfast and dinner as well as a small bistro attached to the front.

Domaine La Batiere: Home from Home

Have just returned from a wonderful fortnight in 'La Batiere'.
Marie and Pierre are so welcoming, they make you feel like one of the family.
There are three cottages to rent or you can stay 'B&B' in the main house.
A good central location for touring the Vendee countryside, and particular for the fabulous Puy de Fou. An unmissable experience.

Unique Quality: Peace and quiet,
Bread baking (and eating) weekly
Good sized swimming pool
Very tastefully decorated and modern fittings
Pierre makes his own wine and pineau

B&B Hotel: Inexpensive chain hotels

When our hosts said we were staying at B&B, I thought they meant a bed & breakfast similar to the overpriced hotels we have in America. Not even close. Yes, they had bed and breakfast, but it was very inexpensive. B&B Hotel is more like a Motel 6 type, which was absolutely fine with me. In Touraine, we got a bi-level room which was great 'cause I got a full-sized bed all to myself and my friend Mark got an upstairs room all to himself. It's set up for families

Unique Quality: Although a budget hotel, the facilities were clean and the breakfast was very filling. It was all-you-can-eat with zhambon, scrambled eggs, baguettes, croissants, coffee machine, juice machine, nutella, etc. Good stuff. And, if you can get the bi-level, I'd recommend it. It costs 45 Euros a night (compared to just 35 for the single level), but it's worth it.
