Le Château de Pray
A charming château hotel with a Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant
Well-positioned on the hillside on the south bank of the Loire, the château has watched over the valley for centuries, guarding the secrets of the most beautiful pages in French history.
Situated near Amboise city, the Château de Pray is a 4-star hotel with a 1-star Michelin restaurant, nestled in 5 hectares of wooded parkland featuring formal gardens, terraces, a vegetable garden and a heated swimming pool.
This superb 13th-century château, remodeled in the Renaissance and framed by its two protective towers, is a haven of tranquillity in the heart of the Loire.
Here, you'll find all the pleasures you need for an exceptional getaway to share with your loved ones, family or friends.
L’Orangerie
A Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant in a room carved out of the tufa stone
Bathed in natural light, L'Orangerie's troglodyte dining room welcomes you from Wednesday evening to Sunday lunchtime.
Carved out of the rock, the dining room is initially a feast for the eyes, before the talent of Chef Arnaud Philippon and his brigade comes into play and transports you.
Subtlety and creativity combine to bring you a cuisine from near and far, where the richness of the terroir skilfully meets flavours from near and far.
A meal with a thousand flavours that invites you to travel.
