Romantic stay in the forest with art and spa

Practical information
The arty and sylvan retreat two hours from Paris
Looking for a true breath of fresh air, a clear break, without compromising on style? Head to the 300-hectare private forest of Loire Valley Lodges, in Touraine. Eighteen perched cabins, designed as contemporary art pieces to live in, offer an experience that is both disconnected and refined.
Each lodge, perched four meters above the ground, was entrusted to an artist (JonOne, CharlElie Couture, Aurèle…). The result: ultra-personal, immersive worlds, with decor that balances sharp design and warm minimalism. Raw wood, XXL glass windows, original artworks, a soft and cozy ambiance. And above all: a private terrace with a jacuzzi, sometimes even a sauna, overlooking the forest. No onlookers, no noise. Just the trees, the light, and you.
No Wi-Fi, no screens. Instead: a vintage walkie-talkie for communication, massages in the middle of the clearing, guided forest baths, aperitifs in a robe in a steaming Nordic bath. And upon waking up? A local breakfast discreetly delivered under the pulley, to be hoisted up with a rope. We love it.
On the food side, the surprises continue: Ardent, the estate's restaurant, focuses on flame-cooked dishes, vegetables from the garden, and forest pickings. There’s also a bar for light bites and an ephemeral bistro during the summer. All of this in a 19th-century farmhouse with incredible charm. The 20-meter pool nestled among the pines completes the equation.
Loire Valley Lodges is the kind of confidential address whispered among insiders when the city becomes too noisy. Perfect for a romantic weekend, a chic wild birthday, or a simple escape away from it all. It’s the perfect place where art takes root in the landscape.
Also to try: a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, stargazing, visiting a nearby vineyard, or a massage with forest oils.
