Château de Vaulogé started its life in the 15th century, built by Jean III de Vauloge, complete with broad moats and crenellated walls. A town grew up around the Chateau, including the mill. In the late 18th century, the son of the original owner transformed his father's castle into a splendid country residence.

After the French Revolution, a new castle was built around the original -- designed by the architect Delarue, who restored Le Mans cathedral, it is in a style known as 19th century troubadour. Now this delightful chateau is a comfortable and fascinating small hotel where guests have wonderfully spacious rooms (all en suite of course) and their own entrance and use of the salon and a library. Elegantly decorated with flowers in each room and a welcome aperitif - it is a very special place to stay.

There are walks in the woods and along the banks of a small river on the property, and in the surroundings are possibilities for the rental of boats, houseboats and canoes, fishing, golf, cruises. Being close to Le Mans, there is the Car Museum, and the castles of the Loire (Chenonceau, Amboise, Villandry, Azay le Rideau, Cheverny, Blois, Talcy and Chambord).
