Luxury Accommodations
in the 15th-Century Medieval Keep
The Keep at le Château de Saint-Loup has been newly renovated to provide chamber d'hôte (bed and breakfast) accommodations in medieval style complete with antique furnishings and many rooms with four-poster beds.
The medieval period was dominated by the de Dercé family, originally from the Loudun area, one of whose members was responsible for the construction of a fortress.
The Keep is all that remains of this, comprising the fourteenth-century square tower on the right and the adjoining fifteenth-century buildings on the left, which were later remodeled in the nineteenth century in the troubadour style.
The Black Prince imprisoned the French king, Jean le Bon, in the Keep after the battle of Poitiers in 1356. You will see the ring of machicolations that crowns the square tower, and the high wooden cross pieces which supported the hoardings. The entrance to the tower was protected by a portcullis.

in the 17th-Century Castle of Saint-LoupDuring the Renaissance, it was Artus Gouffier, the King's chamberlain, who became owner of the property.
His family also owned the Château of Oiron, 19 kilometers away and open to the public all year round.
It was Claude Gouffier and his son Louis who, between 1609 and 1626, built the Château that you see today.
With its plan in the shape of a letter "H," in honor of the king, Henri IV, the two wings are characterized by their distinctive features and independent roofs, while the central pavilion is crowned by a bell-tower.
Renovated within just the last few years, there are now eight stately guest rooms in the west wing of the main castle which can accommodate up to 16 people when rented in its entirety.
When you stay at Le Château de Saint-Loup,a copious continental breakfast is served upon request in the Keep dining room for 15 Euros per person per day (eggs and bacon are available 5 Euros). Also, we will gladly provide you with dinner served in the dining room for 65 Euros per person and a half bottle of red Chinon wine per person, service included. Aperitif and coffee are additional.
Price: 6,400 euros Sunday 15:00 to Saturday noon
