Château de Puchesse is a charming 19th century retreat located in the Loiret region of France. It is a thoughtfully restored, family-run guest house set amid 20 acres of private woodland, offering five guest rooms, warm hospitality, and a slower rhythm of life just 20 minutes from Orléans.  All of our rooms enjoy peaceful views over the garden and are thoughtfully equipped to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. Each room features a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules, as well as a tea kettle stocked with fine local teas from Comptoir de Jeanne d'Arc (a historic tea house from Orléans founded in 1899). For a truly restful night’s sleep, the beds are dressed in luxurious linens by Yves Delorme. You will also find a hair dryer and premium toiletries from L'Occitane, ensuring a stay that is both elegant and indulgent. ​For families traveling with young children, high chairs and travel cots are available upon request. Additional amenities such as extra pillows, towels, and local recommendations are also happily provided to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Orléans is a city where French history and everyday life meet along the banks of the Loire. At its heart rises the Cathédrale Sainte-Croix, a monumental Gothic cathedral closely tied to the story of Joan of Arc. Nearby, the Maison de Jeanne d’Arc brings her legacy to life through exhibitions and archives. The lively Place du Martroi, dominated by an equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, anchors the historic center, while the Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans showcases fine art from the Renaissance to the 19th century. Together, these landmarks capture Orléans’ blend of medieval heritage, artistic richness, and vibrant urban culture. The countryside around Orléans and Sandillon is dotted with some of the Loire Valley’s most impressive châteaux. The iconic Château de Chambord stuns with its vast scale and inventive Renaissance architecture, while the medieval Château de Sully-sur-Loire guards the eastern gateway to the Loire Valley. Closer to Orléans, the Château de Meung-sur-Loire blends royal history with elegant gardens, and the Château de Châteauneuf-sur-Loire offers a more intimate glimpse into aristocratic life. Nearby, the family-friendly Château de La Ferté-Saint-Aubin is known for its furnished interiors and playful activities.
