Your stay at the Demeures & Châteaux de la Richerie
But of all these wonders, the Puy du Fou remains the local pride and joy. Crowned the best theme park in the world, it takes you on a journey through time, from the Roman Empire to the Great War.
Set at the top of a hillside overlooking the Maine River, Château de la Richerie watches over an ancient road dating back to the Gallic era. The name of the estate evokes the memory of its first occupant, Richard, whose name gives the residence its specific title.
Throughout the ages, the shadow of the Marquis Barrin de la Galissionnière has hovered with particular distinction. A distinguished sailor from 1710, his career took him to the four corners of the globe, all the way to the shores of Canada. He even became its governor in 1747. But his most precious legacy to France was his passion for botany. A member of the Académie des Sciences, he introduced the magnolia to France before his death in 1756. After a fire, Mr Damour, the eminent general physician of the Nantes hospitals, became the owner in 1802.
Under his stewardship in the 18th century, the château rose from the ashes. He rebuilt it using the stones and screed of the old residence. The neo-Gothic chapel, inspired by his wife's fervent devotion, was also added to the architectural picture.
For more than two centuries, the Damour family shaped and restored the estate, preserving its prestige. However, in 2006, a wind of renewal blew over the château with the arrival of Mr and Mrs JONCHERAY. Visionary hoteliers, they undertook a delicate metamorphosis, transforming this heritage jewel into an exceptional hotel.
A 19th-century art house, Château de la Richerie dazzles as much by its exterior architecture as by its interior design. Tucked away in a 94-hectare setting, each of its 20 rooms is uniquely decorated, finely blending modernity with the authentic charm of the place. In homage to the Marquis Barrin de la Galissonnière, some of the rooms are named after delicate flowers: Begonia, Magnolia, Stellata. During your stay, let yourself be charmed by the subtle nuances of the Empire furniture, enhanced by exquisite floral touches. The Soulangeana junior suite boasts a four-poster bed worthy of fairytales, as does the Sassafra double room. The Galissonnière luxury room boasts a private terrace with a panoramic view over the park.
Some spaces also evoke the travels of the current owners. They combine the exoticism of carved wood, as in the Congo room, with splashes of colour. In the annex called "La Miellerie", the rooms reveal a poetic play with nature. They bear evocative names such as 'Bourdon', 'Frelon' and 'Abeille'.
During the day, the estate satisfies your desire for well-being, with its seasonal indoor swimming pool, spa and sauna. The park, meanwhile, is an invitation to daydream and unwind, with its waterways, signposted paths and ponds. In terms of food and drink, the estate offers a choice of platters and lunches, as well as a selection of wines at the bar. Local produce from the Vendée is of course given pride of place. And every morning, breakfast is served in a room lulled by the elegance of the 1930s. Reduce

Great discovery, we will come back!
Very pretty estate with pretty exteriors and character buildings
The place is very beautiful, very well maintained park. Quiet. Unfortunately the dinner reservation via the link received did not work and we had to, after many hours of driving, get back in the car and look for a restaurant. Furthermore, the reception was very bad. We felt like we were disturbing. A huge dog that barks and comes towards us too! Bad bedding for the single bed room. Bathroom without glass, cabinet that does not open. Very noisy breakfast with people in the kitchen talking loudly. And what was offered was very average. It's a shame in a pretty place called "mansions and castles" not to have a service and welcome up to par. The setting in good weather saved everything...
Trés bon accueil , un espace de repos trés agréable
