We stayed in the "Chambre de Dames" at Le Belvedere B & B for three nights. The room had a street entrance which provided privacy and we did not have to disturb the owners when coming and going. Dominique and Jean Renaud were very gracious hosts and had everything ready for us. The B & B is called a "Chambre D'Hotes." There are many in the Loire Valley, but we chose this one for the location and booked it through VRBO for 90 euros per night including breakfast. We communicated via e-mail with the owner and she was extremely helpful in making our plans. She recommended we take a train from Paris into St. Pierre Du Corps train station and then rent a car. We reserved the car ahead of time - "A MUST" in the summer. Blere is a charming little town with great food and great wine. Dominique had breakfast ready for us every morning. The B & B is an old restored historic monument with a lovely garden. Our room was spacious and we were suprised that it had a microwave and a small refrigerator which came in handy. We sat out one evening and Dominique brought us some Vouvray demi-sec with a delicious homemade salmon spread. She was also helpful in planning our castle stops and gave us detailed directions, maps, pamphlets and input as to how to make the most of our time in the Loire Valley.
