Nestled in the serene village of Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois in the heart of the Loire Valley, stands a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Belle Époque era.

Built in 1906, the Belle Epoque manor was described as a ‘stylistic firework display’ featuring an eclectic facade combining classic, baroque, gothic and Renaissance elements, with Anglo-Norman, Moorish and Asian influences, embellished with Art Nouveau tiles and stained-glass windows.

Originally designed as a grand seaside villa for an affluent Touraine family, when the original coastal site fell through, they chose to build the villa in the heart of the Loire Valley instead.

Beautifully restored in 2019, the Belle Epoque manor features grand hallways and carved staircases, several ornate reception lounges with fireplaces, as well as a ballroom, a smoking room, and an English-style winter garden.

There are 9 bedroom suites dedicated to the artists of the Belle Époque (Dubussy, Puccini, Proust, Wilde, etc.) and the property also has a private spa with a hammam, balneotherapy and traditional sauna.

The surrounding 2.5 acres of grounds were also designed according to the Belle Epoque's landscape canons, featuring meadows, woodland, a river and a pond with its island, as well as orchards and a vegetable garden.

The Belle Epoque property comes with a barn, workshop, and two 800-square foot accommodations in the former caretaker cottage.

The bucolic property is just 10 minutes from the A10 motorway, and 35 minutes from the Tours TGV station.
