Welcome to Le Petit Bouc

Prefectorial rating 4****

Tucked into the heart of a vineyard in the Loire Valley, at 15 minutes from ZooParc de Beauval, 20 minutes from Tours and 2 hours 15 minutes from Paris, Le Petit Bouc offers serenity and calm in charming lodgings.

An historic setting

In 1631, a congregation of Benedictine monks from Sainte Maure moved to Pontlevoy.  They rebuilt the abbey and constructed a chapel, as well as a school that eventually became Louis XVI's royal military academy.  To finance these ventures, the monks farmed much land in the region.  One of these farms, Le Petit Bouc, situated at Thésée la Romaine, got its name from the goats that the monks raised there. All their estates, including le Bouc, were seized by the State during the French Révolution and thereafter sold by the authorities.

It is only at the beginning of the 1990's that the present owners bought the house,being smitten with the charm of the area. If the name Le Bouc remains unchanged, the land around the house was henceforth planted with the Gamay and Sauvignon grapes that the region is famous for.  The house and outbuildings (including Le Petit Bouc), which had been abandoned in 1950, were carefully restored by your hosts Guy and Popsy.

A charming holiday cottage for independent spirits

Le Petit Bouc is a small house, completely independent from that of your hosts.  It was restored in keeping with regional traditions and furnished with taste, to provide you with both comfort and authenticity.

Le Petit Bouc is the ideal place to relax and re-energize in any season, be it for a weekend or a week; with your family (maximum 8 persons) or with your beloved ones ; be it to discover historic sites and sumptuous chateaux or just to enjoy a few days in the country under the sun or snuggled up next to the fireplace.
