Château Belmont :
57, Rue Groison - 37100 TOURS - FR

Château Belmont, an establishment steeped in history, welcomes you to a 17th-century building surrounded by 2.5 hectares of parkland. Once planted with vines renowned for their south-facing aspect, the château became a hospital during the 1870 war.
After the war, Baroness Tellier de Blanrier acquired the property in 1880 and had the ceiling of the living room painted. In 1885, the vines were replaced by apple trees, which produced cider for over sixty years.
Passionate about flowers, the next owners decided to turn the estate into a tulip research centre.
In 1987, Jean and Sophie Bardet opened a restaurant. Jean Bardet, a renowned chef, offered creative, gourmet and refined cuisine.
The AEGIDE-Domitys group opened its first hotel in 2008, bringing Château Belmont to life.
Discover this place steeped in history, where the elegance of the past blends harmoniously with modern comforts. Treat yourself to an unforgettable stay in an enchanting setting, steeped in the richness and charm of its prestigious past.
