Domainde de Poulaines

The Domaine de Poulaines is a timeless getaway, an enchanted escape located on the borders of Touraine and Berry. Surrounding a manor house with Renaissance origins are 4.5 hectares of themed gardens, themselves encircled by a 20-hectare arboretum. Restored with rare passion and dedication by its owners, the estate offers a striking diversity of landscapes. Visitors can wander from the bamboo garden to the rose path, or the water garden where reflections of century-old trees create shifting paintings. Each space is designed as a living stage where botany blends with history. The estate is more than just a place for a stroll; it is a true ecosystem where biodiversity reigns supreme. Beyond its rich botanical collections, Poulaines offers high-end charming cottages, allowing guests to extend their experience and enjoy the serenity of the grounds once the day's visitors have departed. The visit is rounded off with a stop at the tea room or the boutique, highlighting local products and plants from the estate. It is an ideal destination for lovers of nature, silence, and authentic heritage, offering a perfect balance between architectural elegance and the untamed freedom of a meticulously maintained forest.
