Château de La Bourdaisière partners with Bpifrance to enhance its development through a significant investment aimed at promoting sustainable tourism and ecological education.

Target Information

The Château de La Bourdaisière, located in Montlouis-sur-Loire and owned by Louis Albert de Broglie for over 30 years, is a multifaceted establishment that combines a three-star hotel, accessible gardens, and cultural programming. Since its acquisition in the early 1990s, the Château has functioned not only as an accommodation venue but also as a vibrant cultural site, hosting numerous annual events such as the Fête des Plantes and the Festival de la Tomate. It also features the National Tomato Conservatory and offers private receptions, showcasing the unique blend of hospitality and education arising from the estate.

Under the direction of Cyrille Brayé-Lécureuil, the hotel is entering a new phase of development, including the construction of eco-lodges situated within a productive woodland area in its park. These eco-lodges will complement a broader focus on biodiversity education and wellness initiatives. Additionally, significant renovations are underway to align with the innovative hospitality concept called “Nature Art Education,” developed in collaboration with Maison Deyrolle, a historical curiosity cabinet also owned by de Broglie. The establishment is not only a hotel but a living laboratory for sustainable practices, previously housing the first micro-farm focused on agroecology within the Fermes d’Avenir network.
