Welcome to
Château de la Ruche

A BEAUTIFUL 18TH CENTURY PETIT CHÂTEAU IN THE PAYS DE LA LOIRE

Château de la Ruche is a magical 18th century petit château set in 15 acres of secluded, private parkland and woodland near Le Mans in the Pays de la Loire region of France. Surrounded by peaceful French countryside, the château is being lovingly and carefully restored by the Jones family to create a welcoming, luxurious chambres d’hotes.

We love to make our guests feel spoilt but stuffy formality isn’t our style – so expect luxurious with a down-to-earth edge. Stay in one of our three beautiful château bedrooms, which have each been carefully renovated to preserve as many of the original features as possible.

Every room has a stunning antique bed, made with crisp cotton sheets and luxurious wool duvets to keep you comfortably cool on balmy summer nights and cosy and warm in the chill of winter.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing few days away to unwind or somewhere to stop for a night on your journey through France, we are always happy to welcome you into our home.

After a wonderful night’s sleep, we’ll set you up for the day with an indulgent breakfast of pastries, the freshest bread, homemade preserves and home-grown produce.

what our guests say

This place is magical. We stayed in the Honey Suite and it was even more beautiful in real life. Dinner and breakfast were wonderful and the hosts made it seem effortless, despite all of it being home-made, home-grown and extremely delicious. We left Chateau de la Ruche feeling truly rested and pampered. Thoroughly recommend.

We cannot recommend Chateau de la Ruche enough! We stayed for our anniversary and Tim and Becs were the perfect hosts, genuinely made us feel like royalty. The Chateau and grounds are beautiful; they have mastered luxurious but relaxing French living perfectly!
Francesca Acford
We’ve just returned from an amazing stay at Chateau de la Ruche. Rebecca and Tim are such welcoming hosts and there are lots of lovely little details they incorporate into your stay which really make it something special. The rooms are gorgeous, the food is delicious and the location is idyllic. We already look forward to returning when we can and would recommend a break here to anyone!
