The story of Chateau de Challain is as much a fairytale as its looks; built as a private country residence in 1854, the chateau was once the jewel of Anjoy. After years of neglect, it was left tired and broken until it stole the hearts of the Nicholsons just over a decade ago. Shortly after the Nicholsons made an offer, they became the new owners of Chateau de Challain and began a painstaking restoration project to return the chateau to its former glory.
Today Chateau de Challain is one of the most magical castles you could wish to visit. Standing tall, and gleaming white, its majesty casts a spell over everyone who visits – for weddings, honeymoons, parties and more.

About the area
The region of Anjou is one of the most diverse in France. Anjou owes almost everything to its river – the Loire, which stretches some 80 miles. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Loire is the last untamed river of Europe, and is at its most beautiful in Anjou.
Wine
The Coteaux du Layon vineyards stretch across the hillsides; originally planted by monks, the sweet, golden wine produced was once drunk by the crowned heads of Europe, and still graces the tables of discerning drinkers today. Why not take a tour of the vineyards and learn about the
wines made, during your stay.
