Loire Holiday Cottage Rental in Amboise, France / Le Clos Reviews

My husband and I along with our son and daughter-in-law traveled from Paris on the train and rented a car in St Pierre de Corp. Even though we only speak English we got by just fine during our week stay. We found our way to le Clos de Locey without difficulty thanks to the very detailed instructions provided. The cottage's location is perfect for visiting the Loire River Valley. The many recommendations that the Locey's give for the area are spot on. The cottage is lovely and is surrounded by flowers and song birds galore. We adjusted very quickly to steps outside, stairs inside, and to a few places with low ceilings. The accommodations were the perfect French and old world experience. It was very clean, well maintained, and all the amenities listed were accurate. The kitchen is great, everything you would need is there including a wine bucket, which was put to use at most evening meals taken out on the patio or up in the sweet little vine covered gazebo on the hill. Amboise is a very vibrant little town and only 3 miles from the cottage. We enjoyed one evening meal at Chez Bruno on the main drag right below the Amboise Chateau. The Sunday Market along the river is amazing, everything from cooked meats, cheeses, breads, vegetables to table clothes and lawn mowers. Great fun. One day was spent on rented bicycles and an 8 miles trip to the fabulous Chenonceau Chateau. The Clos Luce with over 100 of de Vinci's engineering models on display is another must see. So many Chateau and so little time. Le Clos de Locey was the perfect place for our French vacation.
