"It’s an old building… with an overgrown garden like an haunted mansion. First impression was to run… seemed like a horror movie set. Old furniture with dantesque paintings in this dark manor. BUT… we stayed as was only a motorway stop. Dinner was in the middle of the garden… and food was AMAZING. Room was super specious and super clean… with all the accessories. Breakfast was generous and well presented in a room from 1830!! Great value for money… and super well connected to lovely locations...

"Logement très spacieux. Prestations correspondent au prix du séjour."

Le Pigeonnier du Perron

8/10 Good

"Traditional property. Room was chilly when we arrived as just in October, but heating warmed it up in a couple of hours. You need to book dinner the day before, and it was fresh and delicious! Very well cooked. Dining room and breakfast room was peaceful. Will definitely stay again"

Pierre & Vacances Residence Le Moulin des Cordeliers Loches

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here! It is in a lovely town full of little shops and restaurants. Right by a castle. We upgraded and got a beautiful view of the castle with a balcony. Nice pool. You do need to make up your bed, bring extra toilet paper and tidy up before you go! Friendly staff we encountered and perfect location to visit all the chateaus in the Loire Valley."

HÔTEL DE LA CITÉ ROYALE

"Hôtel magnifique situé au cœur de Loche. La chambre est très spacieuse et confortable. Seul bémol est le tapis. Il était taché à plusieurs endroits. Son apparence fait en sorte que la chambre semble sale."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Descartes?

The best area to stay in Descartes is generally within the town centre itself, particularly around the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville and along the Rue du Commerce.This central area is the heart of Descartes and offers the most convenience for visitors. It's compact and walkable, with the majority of the town's shops, restaurants, and local services concentrated here. You'll find the Descartes Museum and the church of Saint-Georges within easy reach, providing a pleasant setting for exploring on foot.For couples looking for a relaxed and authentic French experience, staying in the town centre is ideal. You'll be able to enjoy strolls along the river Creuse, sample local cuisine at small restaurants, and easily visit local landmarks without needing a car.

When is the best time to go to Descartes?

The best times to visit Descartes are during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.During spring, the weather is pleasantly mild, and the countryside bursts into bloom, making it ideal for exploring the local markets and enjoying outdoor activities like cycling along the Creuse River. You'll find fewer crowds than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience.Autumn offers similarly agreeable temperatures and the added beauty of changing leaf colours across the Touraine region. This period is great for vineyard tours and sampling local produce, as it coincides with harvest season. The crisp air is also excellent for walking tours of the town's historic sites.While summer (July and August) is sunny, it can be quite warm, and the town sees more visitors.
