It’s an ideal site with a view over the Trinity church and the chateau of Vendôme.
If it rains, you can take refuge in the vineyard lodge next to the panoramic table viewing map.

“This panoramic view of Vendôme is amazing ! And we laughed when a shower broke out and we quickly took refuge in the little vineyard house next door.” Sonia & Claude, Parisians on weekends

“Before leaving on the circuit, we stopped at the Cave des Vignerons Vendômois to buy a bottle of wine to enjoy during the picnic. We were well advised and we came back after our hike to bring back some of this Vendôme terroir in our suitcases, in order to make our friends discover it during an aperitif.” Jacques and Martine, retired Rouen on holiday at the campsite of Montoire-sur-le-Loir
