"An 18th-century limestone mansion in the Loire Valley, with formal gardens and a circular swimming pool, offering a 'Beauty and the Beast' like setting."
"During turndown service at this Loire Valley château, guests receive complimentary mementos such as sablé cookies from a nearby bakery, mini magnet reproductions of local art, custom puzzles of the château, or a small book on the property’s philosophical history." - Cat Sposato
"Château du Grand-Lucé, a stately 18th-century neoclassical building, features 17 rooms and suites that vie with each other in the opulence and refinement sweepstakes – without compromising on modern-day comforts." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Le Lucé is the quintessence of classical Gallic luxury: set in an 18C palace, flanked by manicured French gardens, the plush restaurant sparkles with crystal glassware, mirrors and chandeliers. An idyllic setting to quench your thirst and sate your appetite in true style. The menu intelligently focuses on hearty cuisine with a strong focus on regional and home-grown produce: gratin of cauliflower; loin of pork in a hazelnut crust with Jasnière white wine sauce." - Michelin Inspector
"Another equally beautiful 18th-century Neoclassical property is the Hôtel Château du Grand-Lucé, just outside Le Mans." - Travel + Leisure Editors
