As you explore the six hectares of park at the Auberge des Templiers, you will stare nature in the face as the sunlight picks out the colours and the contrasts in this natural environment.

These luxuriant grounds are dotted with hundred-year-old oak trees and paths lined with rhododendrons.

With the changing seasons, there is always something new to discover here.

You can cover the entire Sologne by bike on its 800 kilometres of sign-posted, protected bike tracks.

You will see, in succession, panoramic views over the Loire, typical villages and famous châteaux.

Other attractions of this region are horse riding, golf (25 km away), hunting and fishing, and being totally at one with nature.
