Exuding a regal elegance from a bygone era, this majestic and historic chateau keep in Charente makes for an exclusive holiday retreat and unforgettable wedding venue in the southern Loire Valley.

A stay in this six-bedroom masterpiece will feel as if you are living among the imperial elite, with medieval furnishings, rich tapestries, antique art, and sophisticated décor. Grand, stately rooms allow for both socialising and relaxing, including multiple reception rooms, one with a gorgeous fireplace, for dining or hosting groups.

Each of the luxury bedroom suites is uniquely and thoughtfully designed and includes en suite bathrooms and cozy fireplaces. While the Chateau De St. Louis Keep can accommodate up to 16 guests (15 in the bedrooms and one guest on an extra bed available upon request), it can be rented in tandem with the main Chateau De St. Louis to host a total of 40 guests.

The grounds are equally as impressive as the interior, with vast gardens, fruit trees, vineyards, a lake for fishing and parklands to explore, all surrounded by an impressive moat. There are also excellent bird watching opportunities!

A local restaurant is just a hundred yards from the château entrance and there is also a pizzeria opposite the village church. Nestled between Parthenay and Thouars, guests will be within close distance to the famous Loire Valley chateaux and, of course, the renowned wine and cuisine that attracts visitors far and wide.

What Oliver loves...

  • This Chateau Keep in Charente could not be a better wedding venue, with luxury accommodations and impressive exterior grounds ready to host an enchanting large-scale event
  • The on site fishing lake and the moat surrounding the fairytale castle and its keep
  • All the bedrooms have fireplaces!

What you should know

  • The Keep has 6 bedrooms to sleep 15 guests. An extra bed can be added to bedroom 1 or 3 on request, bringing total capacity to 16 guests. Please refer to the 'Features' tab for full details.
  • Guests staying at the Keep do not have access to a kitchen and it is therefore not self-catering. There is a local restaurant a hundred yards from the grounds and a pizzeria close by. Alternatively guests can arrange a private chef (to be arranged in advance subject to an additional cost). 
  • The Chateau Keep does not include the rental of the main chateau which shares the grounds. The Chateau Keep can be rented independently or alongside the main chateau (for up to 40 guests in total)
  • A car is recommended to make the most of the region.
  • The non-intrusive owners live on site - they will be happy to help!

This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!

This is a historic home, and as such:

  • It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
  • Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!
