Autumn Retreat Inspirations at Château d’Artigny

Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, just 15 km south of Tours in Montbazon, France, Château d’Artigny is a luxurious hotel designed in the style of an 18th-century castle, originally built by famed perfumer François Coty. Surrounded by 25 hectares of parkland featuring formal French gardens, marble statues, and sweeping views over the Indre Valley, it offers a serene and elegant retreat—especially for an autumn escape in October 2025.

October is part of the shoulder season, bringing milder temperatures (typically 10–18°C / 50–65°F), vibrant fall colors, fewer tourists, and often more attractive rates than in peak summer—making it an ideal time for a more affordable luxury stay. While the outdoor pool may be closed for the season, guests can still enjoy the on-site spa, tennis and padel courts, and a range of indoor amenities.

Below, you’ll find curated stay ideas inspired by the château’s offerings, seasonal events, and nearby attractions.

Gourmet and Wine Harvest Experience

Indulge in the region’s renowned cuisine and wines during the fall harvest season. Dine at L’Origan, the château’s elegant rotunda restaurant with gold-leaf woodwork and valley views, where Chef Hervé Guttin blends local terroir with global influences—think seasonal dishes like game meats or truffle-infused plates. Special October brunches are scheduled for Sundays (October 12 and 26, 2025) at €63 per person, featuring smoked salmon, charcuterie, and local products. Stay in a superior room with park views and arrange wine tastings in the impressive cellar or nearby vineyards (e.g., Chinon or Vouvray appellations, just a short drive away). Combine with a visit to Château de Villandry’s autumn garden festival if it aligns. This idea suits foodies, with packages potentially including breakfast buffets for around €250 per night.

Family or Group Historical Adventure

Ideal for families or friends exploring the Loire’s Renaissance heritage. The château’s 56 rooms accommodate various group sizes, including spacious apartments with sofa beds for children in the Pavillon d’Ariane. Activities include table tennis, padel/tennis courts, and park picnics. Use the hotel as a hub for day trips: Visit iconic châteaux like Chenonceau (20 minutes away, with its fairy-tale architecture), Chambord (1 hour), or Amboise (home to Leonardo da Vinci’s residence). In October, enjoy fewer lines and harvest festivals in local villages. Rates are family-friendly in the low season, starting at €180 per night; add bicycle rentals for scenic rides along the Loire à Vélo trail.

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.
