The Chateau Christmas Experience
Join Us For A Fairytale Holiday
You are invited to become part of chateau life for a week. To wake up in a French chateau. To hunt for antiques in little villages. To wander through some of France's greatest historic castles dressed for Christmas. To learn from local artisans. To drink wine in ancient caves. To relax in the spa and pool.
To gather for festive drinks as evening falls and linger over dinner with new friends. And at the end of every adventure, to come home to La Croix Boisée. Welcome to Christmas at Chateau Love!
Enjoy an enchanting week of French Christmas traditions, magnificent chateaux visits, antiques, food, wine & festive celebration. Step through the doors of Chateau de la Croix Boisée and into the magic of Christmas in the French countryside. For eight unforgettable days, become part of chateau life as we welcome you into our home for a wonderfully festive celebration of everything we love about France at Christmas.
This intimate experience has been created for a small group of 5 - 8 guests, and brings together magnificent Loire Valley castles dressed for the holidays, antique hunting in a charming village, French food and wine, traditional craftsmanship, music, creativity and plenty of time simply to enjoy your chateau experience.
Throughout your stay, the renowned private chef Marie Wiik will cater the week at La Croix Boisée, preparing beautiful meals to be enjoyed together around the chateau table.
Evenings begin with drinks and unfold over leisurely dinners, conversation and wine, the sort of evenings that become some of the most memorable moments of chateau life. The holidays aren't complete without gifts, and we love giving.
You will be greeted upon arrival with lovely toiletries, a Chateau Love tote bag, apron and handmade ornaments to take home.
And, because this is Christmas at Chateau Love, expect a little sparkle, plenty of laughter and quite a bit of elegant silliness.
Discover The Great Castles Of The Loire At Christmas
During our week together, we will visit an exceptional collection of French chateaux:
Chateau de Chenonceau, Chateau de Villandry, Chateau d'Amboise, Chateau Gaillard, Chateau de Chambord & Chateau de Lalacelle

Christmas is one of the most magical times to discover the Loire Valley, when its great historic castles, cities and villages are transformed for the festive season.
