France: a gem in château country

“WE found a gem in the Loire Valley of France, a B&B at a delightful couple’s home in the center of château country. We had a two-room suite with bath, with an absolutely delicious breakfast included. The owners, André and Catherine Bessou (she speaks English quite well), are charming and friendly.” Doubles from $83.
