Prestigious guest castle on the banks of the Loire

The Jeanne de Laval Estate stands out from other buildings due to its character, prestige, and authenticity. This 16th-century residence was one of the first jurisdictional houses in La Bohalle. It has witnessed many chapters of history and observed the changing landscapes, without ever losing its splendor.

Today, Adeline and Benjamin welcome you and bring this little piece of Anjou's history to life! They are eager to show you around this iconic place and share the stories of Jeanne de Laval!

A noble inspiration

Your hosts decided to name this place "Domaine Jeanne de Laval". She is a major figure in the history of Anjou.

It was in 1454 that she married René of Anjou, a poet-prince, enlightened patron of the arts, titular King of Naples and Count of Provence. Together, they embodied Anjou: its culture, its tolerance and its love for the arts.

Jeanne de Laval is remembered as a pious, cultured woman, attached to the land of Anjou. She often resided in the castles of the region in Beaufort-en-Vallée/La Ménitré.

Even today, its influence can be felt in certain places and emblems of the region.

A residence steeped in local history

At 32 Jeanne de Laval embankment, the house stands close to land that testifies to the embankment's heavy traffic. "Maison de Maître La Bigottière," the former name of our prestigious guest house, preserves traces of a bourgeois and rural past.

“Domaine Jeanne de Laval” gives our guests a taste of their journey with us, between heritage, nature and the art of living.

A place, a spirit

Our upscale guest house embodies what René and Jeanne's court was like: a place of beauty, reflection, and kindness.

In every detail, we promise our guests a unique stay where the past converses with modern comfort, in an elegant, soothing and inspiring atmosphere.

The building is listed as a remarkable structure!

Some elements of the building

The property comprises a two-story manor house built of large blocks of tufa stone and two symmetrical outbuildings. You will discover a courtyard preceded by a bridge. Beyond the courtyard lies a rectangular park surrounded by a moat. The estate was once the seat of a court and later a gendarmerie, hence the presence of dungeons.

Wander through this guest castle and its garden to uncover all the secrets of Domaine Jeanne de Laval!

And what about tomorrow?

Our upscale guest house on the banks of the Loire is constantly evolving!

Coming soon, in 2026, we will be offering a new luxury guest room: Chambre le Roi René.

Every day, we take eco-friendly actions to preserve our little corner of paradise. We would love to discuss this with you!
