Day after's Brunch

The brunch the day after the wedding was held at the Château de Rochecotte, a 4-star hotel and gourmet restaurant located in the heart of the Loire Valley Châteaux (Langeais, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, Ussé, etc.) and the vineyards of Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil.

During the Hundred Years' War, Rochecotte, perched on its peak, served as a stronghold for monitoring the movements of English troops.

In 1767, it became the property of the Guillon de Rochecotte family, who provided the cavalry with valiant soldiers. The most famous was Louis Fortuné Guillon de Rochecotte.

In 1828, the history of the Château de Rochecotte continued, and Duchess Dorothée de Dino purchased the property. She transformed it into an Italian villa with columns, pergolas, and gardens. All of this with a magnificence matched only by the profusion of flowers that adorned it. It gave the Château its current architecture.

Today, the château still appears as it did in the Duchess's time. It is a long building with a slightly projecting central avant-corps topped by a pediment, flanked by two square pavilions with pointed attics enjoying magnificent views of the Loire Valley.

Brunch was held in the Talleyrand Salon.
