Autumn Escapes: November at Château d’Artigny

Set in the picturesque Loire Valley, just 15 km south of Tours in Montbazon, France, Château d’Artigny is a grand hotel styled after an 18th-century castle, originally built by renowned perfumer François Coty. Surrounded by 25 hectares of landscaped parkland, including elegant French gardens and panoramic views over the Indre Valley, the château offers a peaceful and refined escape—especially in November 2025.

November ushers in crisp, cool weather (typically 6–12°C / 43–54°F), golden autumn colors, and the calm of the low season—bringing fewer visitors and often more attractive rates. While the outdoor pool is usually closed by this time, guests can still enjoy the spa, tennis and padel courts, and the château’s full range of indoor amenities.

Below, you’ll find curated ideas for a November stay, thoughtfully blending the château’s offerings with seasonal charm and nearby cultural attractions.

Spa and Wellness Retreat

Rejuvenate in the château’s vaulted cellar spa, offering massages, facials, and body treatments in a historic setting. November’s chilly weather makes the sauna, hammam, and jacuzzi especially inviting. Book a superior room in the Cité des Parfums for a nod to Coty’s legacy, with rates from €200-300 per night, including spa access. Rent bikes to explore the misty Indre Valley or join a guided park walk to enjoy the late-autumn foliage. For a deeper wellness experience, consider yoga in the château’s serene grounds or a day trip to thermal spas in Tours (20 minutes away).

Family or Group Cultural Journey

Perfect for families or friends exploring the Loire’s heritage. The château’s 56 rooms, including spacious apartments in the Pavillon d’Ariane with sofa beds, suit groups. Activities like table tennis, padel, or board games keep everyone entertained indoors. Use the château as a base for day trips to UNESCO-listed châteaux: Chenonceau (20 minutes), Chambord (1 hour), or Amboise (Leonardo da Vinci’s former home). November’s low crowds mean shorter lines and a peaceful vibe. Rates start at €180 per night; bike rentals add fun for Loire à Vélo trail outings. Check for local harvest festivals in Montbazon or Tours for family-friendly events.

If you’re looking for a wellness break, you can opt for a getaway at Château d’Artigny, including a double room, breakfast and access to the spa for 2 hours a day, from €212 for two people.
