For your partner’s birthday or simply to round off the year in style, a romantic weekend on the banks of the Loire in the Loire Valley is bound to be at the top of your wish list. In autumn or winter, what could be better than the enveloping warmth of a hammam or a sauna to share a most pleasant and relaxing moment. Not to mention the jacuzzis, indoor pools, and of course the massages and other treatments.

The hotels below all have the characteristic of offering a spa area, for the well-being of their guests. A small click on the different links could well complete to convince you:

Great ideas for outings during your romantic weekend

Stroll hand in hand through the grounds of a Loire château before taking a tour of these tufa stone giants and treating yourselves to a wonderful slice of French history. And to prolong the magic, why not pull out all the stops with a helicopter flight (Air TouraineHéliberté…)? After all, you only live once!

And to round off your spa weekend at the château, remember that some of the wine estates are open on Sundays and are well worth a visit (Pierre and Bertrand Couly, the Château de l’Aulée, the David et Nathalie Drussé estate, the Montlouis-sur-Loire producers’ cellar, the Vouvray cellar, Plou et fils, etc.). As well as discovering the wine-making know-how, you’ll be able to buy a few lovely vintages to enjoy at home (in moderation, of course) which will bring back wonderful memories of your romantic break.
