Château de La Barre is a moated castle in the Sarthe, at the northern edge of the Loire Valley, held by the same family, the de Vanssays, since the fourteenth century.
Set within a hundred acres of private parkland and gardens, it operates as a small hotel while remaining a lived-in family home. Its unbroken family ownership across seven centuries is unusual even among the region's historic châteaux.
Known for: landmarks, local immersion, seclusion.
