Set in the heart of the Loire Valley in Luynes, the Domaine de Beauvois is housed in a Touraine manor house on 99 acres of parkland, facing the beautiful Lake Briffaut. Featured on our new French Elegance Luxury Gold itinerary, this Signature Hotel dates back to the 16th century and was originally an impressive seigneurial lodging house with big round towers that still stand today. In 1619, the Duke Charles Albert de Luynes, a great falconer and a favourite of King Louis XIII acquired the manor and made it a part of the Duchy of Luynes. According to local lore, King Louis XIII liked coming to hunt the waterfowl, which populated Lake Briffaut at the time.
