This sprawling aristocratic house from the 17th
Century offers a calm elegance in the charming city of Chinon.
The Hotel Diderot, with its regal black slate roof and white
limestone walls, is located near Place Jeanne d'Arc. The staff
will help you settle into the large guest rooms, which have hardwood
floors, exposed beams, antique furniture, and cushy beds, plus
tidily kept bathrooms, 17 of which come with both tub and shower.
A sense of the past is preserved in the exposed beams and supports
the 18th- century staircase, and the 15th-century fireplace in
the dining room, where breakfast is served. As a bonus, guests
have use of a private garden and patio. The location is quite
good for exploring the town; the ruins of the chateau are within
walking distance, and there are many shops and restaurants nearby.
