The Hotel de France in La Chartre sur le loir is a lovely traditional 2star family run establishment with a very good restaurant. For any fan of motor sport this Hotel is a must see. The Hotel de France was used as a base for John Wyre’s British Motor Sport Teams competing in the Le Mans 24hrs, from the 1950’s... More

We didn't stay in the hotel but dined here for dinner. Good starters, excellent steak and bearnaise sauce. Good value. It's popular, so book for dinner. We also dined here for a light lunch. Fresh fish and an excellent bottle of chilled Touraine rose, seated outside over looking the small sunny square - very nice indeed. The service was very... More

The hotel and the room were lovely, but the whole stay (one night only) was ruined by the patron. Upon arrival our key was virtually thrown at us. Our not being able to decide whether to eat dinner or have a drink first was greeted with a snarl of disgust. Our aperitifs were slammed on the table in front of... More

I've not stayed at, or eaten in the restaurant of, La France hotel for 10 years. We used to stop here regularly on our way down to Dordogneshire. It used to be good. We've just spent a night at La France, where we met up with some friends for a meal ... despite the 2 recent poor reviews on TA.... More

The reception at this hotel was grudging. We speak reasonable French, smile, say please and thank you. It is beyond understanding when you come across people in the hospitality business who seem to dislike their jobs and visitors so much. The hotel could be a real gem, but it isn't. The swimming pool was very welcome at the end of... More

This hotel was very disappointing on our trip to France. We had stayed in Alistair Sawdays B and B's, excellent, a wonderful hotel in Monpazier and also an excellent hotel in Madrid.. The room was very basic, the breakfast the poorest that I have experienced in France and the restaurant was closed on a Sunday evening. No advice was given... More

I stayed two nights (not consecutively) in this hotel while on a biking trip along Le Loir. This hotel has everything you could ask for from a small family run hotel. I had different rooms the two nights I stayed here and they were both large and clean. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was superb and the swimming pool felt... More

We loved this hotel. It was charming and full of character. The building is in the middle of a lovely village, with an excellent restaurant and bar. There is a heated swimming pool by the river too. It is the sort of hotel you dream about stumbling across while travelling through France, but rarely do. A classic French hotel -... More

A 2-star hotel (Logis de France) and bar/restaurant in the main square of this very pleasant town, which has a number of interesting shops. It’s a good base for exploring the ‘little’ Loir valley, north of Tours, from Château-du-Loir to Vendôme Fairly typically French with narrow corridors and old-fashioned décor, but rooms are a reasonable size, clean and comfortable. There’s... More
