La Croix Blanche

Standing proudly opposite the majestic Royal Abbey of Fontevraud and its Modern Art Museum, Hôtel La Croix Blanche has been guarding the simple joys of life since 1696. This former coaching inn, rich in historical charm, beautifully marries the architectural heritage of the Loire Valley—a UNESCO World Heritage area—with cozy comfort, offering a timeless gateway into the world of legendary châteaux and rolling vineyards.

Relaxation and security are paramount: the estate features a heated outdoor swimming pool framed by a colorful garden, alongside a secure, monitored private parking lot. To promote green mobility, electric vehicle charging facilities are being integrated, and guests can rent top-tier bicycles and e-bikes directly on-site to cruise the famous La Loire à Vélo paths. Furry companions are welcome exclusively on the outdoor terrace; please note they are not permitted inside the guestrooms, restaurant, bar, or reception areas.

The rooms and mini-suites are uniquely decorated havens nestled within the historic walls. Combining period features with modern layouts, they offer high-speed Wi-Fi to keep you effortlessly connected. For guests with disabilities, a specially adapted, wheelchair-friendly guestroom is available on the ground floor, complete with accessible bathroom facilities.

The restaurant seamlessly pairs contemporary lines with regional architecture, serving traditional French bistro cuisine open daily for lunch and dinner. Guests can savor beloved signature dishes like the hearty local pie La Gouline or the regional dessert Crémet d’Anjou, either in the flowered courtyard in summer or by a crackling log fire in winter. A cozy bar-lounge offers an exceptional selection of local Loire wines.

Situated in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, between Tours and Angers, the hotel boasts a dream location. It serves as the ultimate base for discovering the scenic Loire riverbanks, ancient troglodyte sites, and five nearby villages officially labeled among the "Most Beautiful Villages in France.
