Nestled in Indre-et-Loire (Loire Valley), Château La Villaine stands on the remains of an old medieval castle dating from the end of the 13th century. In 1266, the estate belonged to the knight Jean de Thais, and some traces of him still remain today, including a period staircase preserved in the cellars, a silent witness to this medieval past.

Over the centuries, the property changed hands several times, passing through the ownership of various prestigious families. It was once under the care of the Chapter of the Church of Tours, before being sold as national property in 1791 during the French Revolution.

It was in the mid-19th century that Master Arrault, a lawyer from Saumur, acquired the estate and began its reconstruction. He entrusted this task to architect Labadie, who redesigned the building in an elegant and harmonious style, while adapting it to the modern comfort standards of the time. The château was then equipped with a remarkable innovation: a Bollée windmill, enabling the supply of running water, a rare sign of forward-thinking for its era.

Today, Château La Villaine brilliantly combines its historical heritage with contemporary refinement, offering its visitors an immersion in several centuries of history, enhanced by an exceptional setting.
