Chédigny, a garden village to visit!
Less than 20 kilometers from Loches, discover Chédigny, the only village in France fully labeled “Remarkable Garden”.
Here, nature invites itself everywhere. The streets are transformed into open-air gardens, where old rose bushes, perennials and shrubs accompany each walk.
The presbytery garden is one of the highlights of the visit.
Behind its walls, this priest's garden recreates the spirit of the gardens of yesteryear.
You will be able to see aromatic, medicinal and ornamental plants, a vegetable garden of ancient vegetables, an orchard and the famous square of simple plants.
Cross the nave of fruit trees and climbing roses to discover the apothecary square, just before entering the garden of the cross and the sacred grove.
As an extension of the garden, the priest's vineyard recalls the wine-growing history of Chédigny.
Wine lovers will appreciate the old presbytery vineyard and the Chenin grape varieties!
At the bend of the flowery streets, take the time to admire the Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens church, whose origins date back to the 12th century.
Open its doors to admire its 19th century stained glass windows, works of master glassmakers from Tours and Toulouse.
Then continue to the wash house and watering trough, bordered by the peaceful waters of the Indrois, before entering the doors of the artists' studios located in the village.
Photographers, painters and sculptors celebrate the beauty of the landscapes, each in their own way.
After your walk in the flowery streets of Chédigny, return to your hotel in the heart of Loches.
The Best Western Premier Hôtel de la Cité Royale welcomes you in the completely renovated former courthouse.
Our charming 4-star hotel combines heritage charm with high-end services.
Enjoy the elegant rooms, the spa set up in the old vaulted cellars, the heated indoor swimming pool and our restaurant.
A perfect address to combine relaxation, gastronomy and visits during your stay in Touraine.
