IN JUST A FEW WORDS
Both a private chateau and a luxury hotel, we are delighted to welcome you to our home. Situated in Anjou, Briottières has been in our family for seven generations.
It is a perfect place to stop on your way to Mont St Michel or the beaches of the Normandy Landings. Or perhaps you wish to visit the Loire Valley Chateaux, just an hour away.
With its own private tennis court and swimming pool and just fifteen minutes from the Champigné Golf Course, there is plenty to do for all the family.
Depending on the time of year, you are invited to join us in the evening by the fire, or to take a drink under the rose pergola. Or perhaps you would rather relax by the swimming pool in the sun.
IN THE BEGINNING
The story of Briottières began in the early days of the 15th century when the land was owned by the Mergot family.
Prior to 1485 it came into the possession of Jean de la Saussaie through his marriage to Jeanne de Mergot and it was then purchased in 1519 by Réne de Baif, husband of Catherine de Champchevrier, who in 1528 built the chapel de Sainte-Bonaventure.
The land at this time consisted of five farms and two estates and included the fiefdom of La Chapelle.
The nobles succeeded one after the other – Réne de Baif until 1546, Maurice Chevallerie in 1560 and finally in 1574, Guillaume Lesrat who was Lieutenant-General du Sénéchal d'Anjou and whose family held the land until the revolution.
René de Lesrat died 6 Feb 1701 at the age of 80 years and was succeded by his son, Clémént-Francois de Lesrat who died on 21 Nov 1740.
