Location

Located on the south bank of the Vienne River, Hotel Rive Sud enjoys a prime location just a short walk from Chinon’s historic medieval center and the picturesque Loire à Vélo cycle route. This charming 3-star hotel offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the Loire Valley, surrounded by renowned castles and beautiful countryside.

Nestled in the Vallee de la Vienne, Chinon is a town steeped in history. Overlooked by its majestic medieval fortress, it was the setting for historic encounters, notably between Jeanne d’Arc and Charles VII. Beneath this imposing stone silhouette, the Caves Painctes (wine cellars) reveal another treasure: galleries carved into the tuffeau rock where Chinon’s famous wines are aged. A must-visit destination blending heritage, legend, and wine pleasures.
