Fleur de Loire, the new Eden of Michelin-starred Chef Christophe Hay, the ideal stop for a circuit around the Loire Valley châteaux.

Decidedly, here is a chef who never ceases to make headlines. After the closure of The House Next Door, Christophe Hay, whose restaurant in the village of Montlivault has been awarded two Michelin stars, has embarked on opening an ambitious establishment that perfectly blends luxury hospitality with high-flyer gastronomy. The celebrated chef, named Gault&Millau Chef of the Year in 2021, manages to bring together under one roof a Gourmet table, an 5-star hotel to an elegant and luxurious universe, a Sisley spa, a brasserie, and a pastry kiosk, for those who wish to extend the experience beyond the hotel walls. In short, the ideal base for planning a Tour of the Loire Valley Castles.

 

 

A cuisine rooted in the terroir

Christophe Hay offers cuisine inspired by the surrounding nature and elevates the Loire terroir: freshwater fish caught in the Loire River, herbs, vegetables from the hotel's kitchen garden, caviar, game, and Sologne Wagyu beef... the chef works with a large number of local products. On the wine side as well, the cellar showcases regional terroirs: AOC Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny, white made solely from the Romorantin grape, white Cheverny “Frileuse” from Clos du Tue-Boeuf, or red «Mes Racines» from Domaine de Montcy...

A high-end hotel

Ideally located in the heart of the Loire Valley, close to Chambord Castle and its famous vineyards, the brand new 5-star hotel offers a unique experience. The atmosphere is elegant and refined. It features 44 rooms, including 11 modern and designer suites, with a direct view of Blois Cathedral and the Loire River, as well as a Sisley spa offering phyto-aromatic treatments, among other services! To provide a complete experience for its guests, the hotel offers guests complimentary electric bikes, with which you can organize an eco-responsible ride along the banks of the Loire, to best discover the surroundings and perhaps the iconic Châteaux of the Loire Valley (Chambord, Blois, and Chaumont, all within a 15-minute drive)!
