Christmas and New Year at Château d’Artigny
Château d’Artigny, an elegant 18th-century-style castle hotel built by perfumer François Coty, is nestled in the Loire Valley, 15 km south of Tours in Montbazon, France. Surrounded by 25 hectares of parkland with formal French gardens and stunning Indre Valley views, it’s a magical setting for Christmas and New Year celebrations in December 2025. The festive season brings chilly weather (3-9°C/37-48°F), occasional light snow, and a cozy holiday ambiance with decorations, Christmas markets, and special events. As a low-season period, it offers quieter stays and competitive rates. The outdoor pool is likely closed, but the spa, tennis/padel courts, and indoor amenities remain open. Below are curated ideas for celebrating Christmas and New Year at Château d’Artigny, blending the château’s luxurious offerings with seasonal festivities and nearby attractions.
Christmas Romantic Escape
Celebrate a magical Christmas with your loved one in the château’s enchanting ambiance. Book a deluxe room in the main château for its opulent Belle Époque decor or the Pavillon d’Ariane for romantic valley vistas. The “Romantic Stay in Touraine” package includes a half-bottle of champagne on arrival and a gourmet dinner for two at L’Origan restaurant, featuring the “Menu François Coty” (amuse-bouche, starter, fish or meat, dessert, mignardises—drinks excluded). Rates start around €212 per night for two, including breakfast and 2 hours of daily spa access (sauna, hammam, jacuzzi). On Christmas Eve or Day, enjoy a special holiday dinner (typically €100-150 per person, check 2025 schedule), featuring festive dishes like foie gras, roasted poultry, or bûche de Noël. Stroll the festively decorated gardens, relax by the fireplace in the wood-paneled bar, or book a couples’ spa treatment. Visit Tours’ Christmas market (30 minutes away) for mulled wine, artisan gifts, and holiday lights.
New Year’s Eve Gala Celebration
Ring in 2026 with elegance at Château d’Artigny’s New Year’s Eve festivities. Stay in a superior room in the Cité des Parfums, inspired by Coty’s perfume legacy, with rates from €200-350 per night. The château typically hosts a grand New Year’s Eve gala (confirm 2025 details), featuring a multi-course gourmet dinner at L’Origan with dishes like lobster, truffle-infused mains, and decadent desserts, often paired with fine wines or champagne (expect €120-200 per person). The evening may include live music, dancing, or fireworks over the Indre Valley. Spend the day relaxing in the spa or exploring the frosty park. Extend the celebration with a New Year’s Day brunch (if available, around €63 per person) featuring local delicacies. Pair with a visit to nearby Chinon or Vouvray vineyards for a festive wine tasting.
