Loire Valley Lodges, a boutique retreat nestled in the Duporterie forest, has announced the addition of three artist-designed lodges, a new dining concept called Ardent Summer Session, and tailor-made "Passion Stays" for guests.
Located just two hours from Paris, this Michelin-keyed estate continues to offer a unique blend of contemporary architecture, art, and gastronomy.
The new Ardent Summer Session dining experience, a collaboration between Ardent and Asperatus, offers a relaxed yet refined approach to fine dining. Open daily for lunch and dinner, the menu features seasonal sharing plates and a five-course tasting menu, drawing inspiration from the surrounding forest and the estate's own LaFerme. Signature dishes include red tuna grilled over binchotan charcoal and monkfish paired with wild flowers.
"Passion Stays" are all-inclusive escapes tailored to guests' interests, such as golf, exploring Loire Valley castles, or wine discovery. These curated experiences combine accommodation, gastronomy, and activities for a seamless and relaxing stay.
