Logis du Lièvre d'Or

Logis du Lièvre d'Or is a quietly assured country B&B where the hospitality is the point. Tucked into Montbazon’s leafy lanes, the place opens onto a small sunlit terrace, a tidy outdoor pool and gardens that wake to birdsong. Rooms are simple but immaculately kept, some with a kitchenette and flat-screen TV; mornings begin with a generous French breakfast—fresh pastries, homemade jam and good coffee—served with almost familial attention. Jean‑Louis, the owner, runs this like a neighborhood anchor: he’ll arrange pickups from the nearby airport or station, ferry repeat guests to work and solve last-minute scrambles with a smile. Visitors come for a peaceful break on a long drive or as a base for the local fortress and Loire valley sights; locals appreciate the considered, small-scale service. It’s not boutique pretension—this is comfortable, honest hospitality where details matter: spotless rooms, a welcoming host, a pool to cool off in and bread you’ll want to pack for the road.
