La Chenoncelle, a family-friendly vacation rental just outside Chenonceau, sleeps 7

Close to ecotours, kayaking, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 31-minute drive to Chateaux de la Loire or the 3-minute drive to Château de Chenonceau (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at either Chisseaux Station, a short 5-minute walk away, or Chenonceaux Station, 13 minutes away.

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a desk are featured at this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
