Area and leisure
La Richardiere is over 200 years old and was once a fermette bustling with cattle, sheep, goats, ducks & chickens. Over the years it has carefully been restored and transformed into a tranquil haven.
Situated at the end of a private drive it is encircled by our 4 acres of lawn and orchards with extensive open views of the peaceful surrounding open farmland. For those who wish to explore, La Richardiere is well situated for visiting the many chateaux, vineyards and interesting towns and villages of the Loire.
