Nestled on the banks of the Loire River, just a stone’s throw from the royal town of Amboise, Château de Pray is a jewel in the crown of French hospitality and gastronomy. This former medieval fortress, transformed into a four-star hotel and Michelin-starred restaurant, perfectly embodies the balance between tradition, refinement and commitment to a sustainable future. Let’s discover together this exceptional place and the values that make it an example of responsible tourism.
A setting steeped in history and serenity
Since the 13th century, Château de Pray has stood majestically over the Loire Valley. Once the residence of Lord Geoffroy de Pray, this medieval building has reinvented itself over the centuries. Today, its two protective towers frame an elegant estate offering 19 tastefully decorated rooms, each telling a unique story, like that of Marcel Proust, a former visitor to the château.
The formal gardens, five-hectare wooded park and heated swimming pool create an environment conducive to relaxation and escape. The chateau’s peaceful atmosphere invites visitors to enjoy a unique experience, whether they’re looking for romance, adventure or just a break from the hustle and bustle.
Michelin-starred gastronomy in the service of nature
The gastronomic restaurant at Château de Pray, awardeda Michelin star, is an ode to local, seasonal flavors. The chef, passionate about local produce, works closely with local producers to create refined dishes that celebrate the culinary richness of the region.
In perfect alignment with the establishment’s ecological approach, menus feature responsible cooking, reducing the carbon footprint by using fresh, local produce. A true sensory experience that will delight lovers of fine dining and sustainability.
An exemplary eco-responsible approach
Château de Pray doesn’t just preserve the beauty of its heritage. It is alsoactively involved in environmentally-friendly initiatives, demonstrating that comfort and responsibility can coexist harmoniously.
These include:
- – Exclusive use of LED bulbs to reduce energy consumption.
- – Installation of charging stations for electric vehicles, facilitating eco-responsible travel for visitors.
- – Rigorous management of resources, with dual-flush toilets and a policy of printing only when necessary.
- – Collaboration with local producers to reduce emissions linked to the transport of goods.
These initiatives are not limited to infrastructure: they also extend to raising awareness among employees, customers and local stakeholders of the importance of preserving this exceptional heritage.
