estled in the heart of the Loire Valley, between the rivers Loire and Cher, Le Cormier is surrounded by some of France's most renowned castles, vineyards and a very scenic countryside. We offer a park-like setting on eleven acres, hiking and bicycling, peaceful days and nights, delightful food of the region (as only the French can prepare it), unequaled hospitality and plenty of rest and relaxation.

The calendar for 2010 is posted. We are receiving inquiries already, so make your reservations early to ensure the dates you want.

 

Le Cormier front door e are open from May through October, catering to discriminating couples. Visit our Calendar page to check availability. Please contact us if you are interested in visiting outside our normal season.

Our chambres d'hotes are airy, well-decorated apartments with lots of room in which you can relax. Visit our Suites page to see current pictures. Please come and stay with us. We would love to see you!

We are now posting a quarterly newsletter with interesting information about our area, France in general, our activities and a few recipes that reflect French traditions. It's worth a quick view! We have also written about the breakfasts we serve. They are extensive, hot, freshly-baked and delicious. See what we offer at our Breakfasts page

 

Le Cormier from the sky everal years ago, Marie-Louise went up in an ultralight airplane. She took this picture of Le Cormier from an altitude, I'd guess, of less than several hundred feet. What a view!
And from even higher up there comes this image of Le Cormier. It was taken sometime in 2003 by an overhead satellite as construction was continuing. The far right end of the house (our bedroom) has no roof and the pond has been emptied (see the long trench leading to the rear fosse?) and is being reshaped. Our plum orchard is still hidden in the lower left of the image under a canopy of strangling, wild black berries. Finally, that little squarish design carved in the ground northeast of the house was my first attempt to locate our vegetable garden. The ground there was too hard so we moved the garden to be just behind the house. Le Cormier from the heavens
