Bed and Breakfast - Château du Vau in Ballan-Miré, open JuneNovember.

Château du Vau rises from the Loire Valley countryside near Ballan-Miré, its stone façade anchored by manicured grounds that slope gently toward open meadows and distant tree lines.

This 16th-century château offers guests both ceremony space within its historic rooms and accommodation on-site, allowing wedding parties to extend celebration across multiple days without traveling between venues.

The property's combination of period architecture and rural French landscape creates a setting where formal gatherings feel grounded in place.

Great stay at an old chateau. Bruno was friendly and made us feel welcome in his family home. Breakfast at the communal table was a generous continental breakfast where you can mingle with visitors from varied countries. The rooms inside are dated but fits in with the charm of the property. The grounds are well kept and we had fun wandering around and enjoying the outdoor pool. It made a great base for visiting the many chateaus in the region.
