The Best Centre Budget Hotels

this small canalside hotel - with a gourmet regional restaurant and modern rooms - is in a delightful position near the vineyards of Sancerre

in the heart of Loches, a hotel blending history with modernity in the cosy beamed rooms, and for dining, a covered, riverside terrace

parts of this former abbey date from the 11th-century, it sits on the banks of the River Loire and features refined, classically styled bedrooms

overlooking the River Vienne, near the medieval centre and château, offers cosy, classically-decorated rooms and a highly praised breakfast

set on the banks of the River Loire with views across to the Château de Gien and town centre, and offers simple bedrooms and a shady garden

set on the banks of Val d’Auron Lake, an elegant château offers spacious rooms and suites with comfortable beds, and a grand room for breakfast

most of the simple style bedrooms have a view of the River Loire at this traditional hotel, and Blois historic centre is just across the bridge

on the banks of the River Cher, a 6-minute drive from Beauval Zoo Park, a turn-of-the-century hotel with a Belle-Époque styling throughout
