The spirit of the stay
Everything you need on site, with the Loire within cycling reach
No need for anything artificial to recharge: a walk in the forest, lying in the grass under the sun, spending time with the goats, meditating under a tree, dreaming beneath a starry sky or reading on your terrace.
At La Ferme des Poulardières, the richness of your stay comes both from what you find on site - food service, spa, pools, mini-farm, fishing and seasonal activities - and from everything you can explore nearby. 8 km from Chambord, 30 minutes from Blois and Cheverny, 50 minutes from Beauval and close to La Loire à Vélo, the estate is an ideal starting point for the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000.

★★★★★
Super séjour au milieu de la forêt et à proximité des châteaux et de la Loire. L’accueil est exceptionnel, les logements très agréables, le cadre reposant et le site très confortable. Mention spéciale pour la cuisine.
★★★★★
J’ai découvert la Ferme des Poulardières dans le cadre d’un séminaire. Le lieu est magnifique : c’est un havre de paix. Les gîtes sont confortables, bien équipés et très propres. Nous étions en pension complète. La patronne cuisine tout elle-même et utilise des produits locaux de qualité. N’hésitez pas à y passer une ou plusieurs nuits. Vous serez à 10 minutes du château de Chambord. Un point d’étape très sympathique lors d’un road trip Châteaux de la Loire. Et cerise sur le gâteau, les hôtes sont hyper sympas.
★★★★★
À deux pas du parc de Chambord avec son château, ses balades forestières et ses activités. Situation centrale avec la plupart des autres châteaux, Chenonceau, Amboise, Chaumont, Villesavin ou Cheverny, à une heure de route maximum. L'endroit est parfait pour une jeune famille : bungalows propres et bien agencés, terrasse surélevée sécurisée, superbe vue sur l'étang, matériel bébé à disposition, deux piscines agréables, petit restaurant au bord de l'eau, trampoline et animaux de la ferme. Les propriétaires sont très disponibles mais discrets.
