Our ancient farm near Richelieu is close to the famous Chateaux of the Loire and to the homes of kings, philosophers and writers.

Situated in the natural park of Anjou-Touraine along with some of the best vineyards in France, our farm is close to everything the wonderful Loire Valley has to offer yet far from the bustle and crowds. Savour the choice between spectacular days out or the peace and tranquillity of our gardens, courtyards and pool.

The farm is centred on 2 enclosed courtyards overlooking the valley beyond us offering privacy for grown-ups and space for little ones to run about and play.

La Barauderie has a large heated salt water swimming pool with wooden sun loungers, a spacious outside dining terrace with lovely views and a small lake with fish.

    Nous avons passé à 15 personnes, un super moment dans cette charmante propriété. Elena et Scott nous ont reçu chaleureusement avec toute leur attention et gentillesse.
    Scott nous a préparé 4 excellents Barbecue aux charbons de bois, dont il a le secret. Sa cuisine était vraiment un régal, le vrai savoir faire d'un champion. La propriété est très agréable à vivre pour adultes et enfants. Les alentours sont à visiter, notamment l'Abbaye Royale de St-Michel de Bois-Aubry où se trouve la tombe de Yul Brynner. Bref, une adresse à conserver !!

Food of Touraine and the Loire Valley
The region is famous for its goat cheeses with three AOCs within Indre et loire and in easy reach of La Barauderie. The most famous among these is Saint Maure de Tourraine, Within 15 minutes drive you can visit a number of goat cheese farmers and sample the amazing variety of cheeses that they produce

Rillettes de Tours are another local specialty and another local AOC. They are a preparation of Pork similar to pâté. The meat cooked slowly until it is tender enough to be easily shredded, and then cooled. They are normally used as spread on bread or toast, delicious with a glass of local wine.

Le nougat de Tours a gateau made locally with a sweet pastry base filled with fruit coulis and apricot jam and topped with a almond macaroon like crust. As with all great local specialties in France there is an honorary brotherhood which pays tribute and defends the tradition.

There is also a wide and surprising range of crops produced in the fields and forest surrounding La Barauderie, this includes a saffron farm and a number of asparagus producers and truffle producers. Our local village, Marigny-Marmande, holds truffle market through December which attracts international attention.
