At the gates of Orléans and Chambord, the Domaine du Gué du Roi is a vestige of a small 18th century castle, which unfortunately disappeared, which we bought in 2011 and patiently renovated to make it a happy home for our family and our hosts. In the one-hectare park surrounded by centuries-old walls, we have transformed the barn and the dovecote into two gites and the chapel into two guest rooms , and installed a wooden trailer and for the little ones a mini-farm with Bullet, the Irish pony, Iroquois, the piebald donkey, Abigail, Bonnie and Clyde, the dwarf goats, Blue, the local sheep, not to mention the chickens, roosters and ducks!
At the same time, we have given new life to the adjoining farm, the Ferme du Petit Gué du Roi , to raise about thirty hectares ofAmerican Paint and Quarter Horse horses, Scottish Highland cows, then to create a small farm campsite there in 2020, Camping du Petit Gué du Roi , with only unusual accommodation (two lodge tents, a retro caravan and a tent site) and a shop selling local products (AOC wines, beers, honey, jams, etc.), before starting the production of nuts and artisanal oils in 2021, also on sale at the shop.
Ideally located on the road to the Châteaux de la Loire , 1h30 south-west of Paris with direct access to the A10 and A71 motorways and at the crossroads of major hiking trails, we are now happy to welcome all tourists looking for an authentic, bucolic and unusual parenthesis, with the greatest respect for Mother Nature , as well as the riders of the European Route D'Artagnan , the cyclists of the Loire à Vélo and the walkers ofSantiago de Compostela.
