The cottage is set in the heart
of the Loire Valley and well located for visiting the ancient Loire Châteaux or tasting the many
celebrated Loire wines.
Situated to the west of
Linières-Bouton between the forest of Loroux and the forest of Pont Menard, we
are centrally located and just 9kms
from the towns of Noyant, Vernantes, Vernoil and Mouliherne These towns all have
boulangeries, chemists and supermarkets in Vernoil and Noyant.
Although being a small hamlet,
Linières-Bouton has some princely history as Louis, Prince Napoléon married Alix
de Foresta on the 16th August 1949 in our lovely church. Their son
Prince Charles Marie Jerôme Victor, b. 19th October 1950 claims
headship of the House of Bonaparte and the title Prince Napoléon.
To the south of us, 28kms
- 30 mins drive, is the large town of Saumur, very
popular with international tourists due to its location on the Loire river,
plenty of parking, some free near the cavalry school, and with level walking for
access to its many restaurants, shops, a château and museums.
