The Loire Valley / Sarthe region

Mézeray is situated within easy reach of the Le Mans race circuit. This is also in excellent horse riding country, set in the Vallée du Loir, a tributary of La Loire which it joins at Angers. It benefits from the mild gulf stream and enjoys relatively short, mild winters. Summers are reliably hot and usually last well into autumn. The Loire was the playground of the Kings of France for centuries and is thus lavishly provided with gorgeous châteaux, gardens, churches and other places of historic interest. The small-scale capital cities of Le Mans, Anger and Tours (all within 45 minutes) are well worth exploring.

This world famous zoo, just 10 minutes away, not only has an astonishing collection of animals but houses them in the most natural, sympathetic way, taking advantage of its vast spaces and riverside situation.

Guestbook for Chalet d' Auteuil

What a place to take a holiday. Had a great holiday my daughters stayed in the pool-house and my Partner and myself had the Chalet to ourselves. Nice people made us very welcome and we all loved the in door swimming pool and patio area which we would have a BBQ at night, absorbing the beautiful country side. We are coming back next year for 2 weeks and my daughters are staying for a month. Well recomended by all plenty to do if you like or just to relax and pamper yourself. Stayed from 3rd July 2009 for 10 days did not want to leave 10 days not enough. From Jacquie & family. SUFFOFLK UK

"I just wanted to write and let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your home during our long weekend.
We thought it was wonderful and appreciated very much all the 'extras' you provided to give such a personal feel.
Thank you again. John and Wendy

Long weekend in June.
karen - thank you and your husband for allowing me to stay in your very nice Annex with a bedroom view over looking the swimmingpool . Definitely the place to come if you want to relax and get away from it all. We did not want to leave we enjoyed our break so much. Shaun Kelly.

What a nice place we stayed for 5 days from 11th July 2009 for 5 days, We found the people warm and welcoming. We loved the swimming pool nice clean accommodation and relaxing . Our little dog Ben was made very welcome and there was plenty of nice walks for him. Well recomended we are coming back next year. From Katie, Graham and Ben the dog. LANCASHIRE UK

18th July to 22nd August 2009 Stayed for 5 weeks we are school teachers and just wanted somewhere to relax where we could take our dog Nelly on holiday with us. We stayed in the Chalet and my retired parents decided to join us for our holiday and stayed in the pool-house. The arrangements worked out very well. Plenty of tourist information was provided by the host and my mother and I cycled and my husband enjoyed walking with our dog. We found it very private you can just relax or read a book or go sightseeing. Nice local restaurants and excellent weather definitely got a sun tan. Would recomend this location without a doubt. Ceri Morgan 2009

23rd to 27th August we stayed at the Chalet whilst touring France very nice people made us welcome and clean accommodation. We also enjoyed the swimming pool. With many Vineyards to visit we purchased wine and champagne and we also purchased some local pottery. Great holiday would come back again without hesitation. Richard & Sara Spencer.

27th August to 2nd September great holiday we chose this accommodation for the swimming pool as our son is learning to swim and it was ideal for him. The weather was great. We were taken back at how hot it was. Our host made us very welcome. My husband plays the Guitar and we had BBQ and whilst my husband sat and played around the BBQ we sang songs. He said the accustics in the swimming pool were great. Excellent holiday well situated. Did not want to go, wished we could of stayed longer. Coming back next year with my sister and her husband hope to stay 3 weeks also considering a Christmas break if we can get the time from work. Well recommended. Clair Down 2009

Hi Karen and Benoit, horses, dogs, cats and rabbits!


Thanks very much for your nice email. We had a lovely time at the chalet and felt like part of the family, one of the best holidays we've ever had! It was sad to leave so early and although Paris was nice in hindsight we'd have loved to stay on longer at the chalet.

We definitely want to come back next year and are deciding the best dates etc and will let you know very soon. When does it start to get hot around your parts? (oooh errr mrs!!!)

Stewart's been busy with his music since we've been back as he's playing a music festival this weekend but promises to email some mp3s of some tracks he's recorded later next week and we'll send the photos as soon as we've downloaded them onto the computer.

You live in a lovely area of the world and we found everyone we met to be very friendly. Please pass on our regards to Jackie and his family, tell hime the wine's wonderful, hic! Stew's on the wine as we speak - the giggles will come in a minute!
Tell Benoit the cheeses were excellent - I bought one very thin slice of French Goat' cheese at the weekend and it cost 67pence - extortionate! Didn't taste as good either!

Can't wait to share some more food and wine around the campfire with you both, we'll have to bring some songsheets next time so that we can all sing along.


Will definitely keep in touch, au revoir for now, take care,

love and best wishes to you both,
Carol (Claire), Stewart (Steve) and Louis ha ha. xxx

To Karen & Benoit,
After a crazy start me and Dean couldn’t have asked for a better end to our holiday. It really is a wonder why people bother with hotels when they can stay in an amazing place and be made to feel at home with friends. Will defiantly be returning and spreading the word about this place.

Take care and Merci Beacoup Carrie & Dean

Karen-Ann & Benoit (or Ben & Caroline)

What can we say? The best holiday with the best of hosts. Whether it is: Collecting us from, and taking us to the station because we decided to do a holiday Sans Voiture, or providing us with a wonderful welcome pack (wine, salad, flowers, bread, fruit, veg etc. And ensuring our every whim and desire was catered for (And more bedside) your generosity is unparalleled.

Our First just the -2-of-us Holiday could not have been more perfect – and that is largely down to your naturally charming & welcoming demeanour. Cannot thank you enough for making this so special. We will return (If you’ll have us) + recommend.
A Bientot. Mark & Geneva
