Le Manège de la Chapinière - DadaLoge

The couple at the head of this pleasant inn in a small village near Valençay can be relied upon to whip up amazing food; everything is homemade and the chef favours regional ingredients to concoct his delicate, toothsome recipes. Served in a charming rustic interior or alfresco on the flower-decked terrace in fine weather. The establishment’s success and excellent value for money mean that bookings are essential.

A friendly inviting inn established at the foot of the castle of Montpoupon. The interior sports a fashionable patchwork of rustic (bare stone and beams) and contemporary details, while the menu takes you on a gourmet tour of the Val de Loire’s succulent produce. Prices that make sense and a terrace with a view of the castle.

A close team – Aurélie in the kitchen and Marie front of house – welcome you. They chose to set up their restaurant in this small medieval town on the banks of the Cher, nestled at the foot of the ruins of Montrichard Fortress. In a space with a modern bistro aesthetic, albeit with a rustic touch, they serve up a menu that showcases seasonal and, above all, local produce – mushrooms from the immediate vicinity, Roi Rose de Touraine pork – prepared with generosity and flair. Attentive and dynamic service is the icing on the cake.
