Chateau de Pray lies in the heart of the prestigious Loire Chateaux Region. A mile west of the town center, this château from 1224 resembles a tower-flanked castle on the Rhine. Inside, you'll find antlers, hunting trophies, and a paneled drawing room with a fireplace and a collection of antique oils.
There are 19 rooms at your disposal. The ones in the main building were renovated in 1998 and are conservative and comfortable. The more spacious rooms are near the ground floor, you’ll certainly particularly appreciate the canopied four poster beds. Small but well-organized bathrooms contain tubs and showers. The restaurant, elected "Table de qualité" by Alain Ducasse, offers Loire cuisine and fixed-price menus of excellent quality; reservations are required.
Leisure is well known in the chateau region, wine tasting, chateaux visits, medieval buildings but for nature lovers: the Aquarium de Touraine with typical Loire river fish, and the Chinon, Bourgueil and Vouvray vineyards and cellars. Golf, horse riding, tennis an cycling facilities also nearby.
