The Château du Breuil stands in the hamlet of Le Breuil, in the commune of Beaulieu-sur-Layon, in the Coteaux du Layon wine country of Anjou. Expedia presents it as a château with a garden, a terrace, a children’s playground and a library. Angers is about 18 km to the north, and the Loire, with its châteaux and its island village of Béhuard, is only a few minutes away by car.
The Château du Breuil is listed on Expedia as a château in Beaulieu-sur-Layon, in the heart of the Coteaux du Layon. The listing mentions a garden, a terrace, a children’s playground and a library open to all guests, plus meeting and conference rooms. The building is a large historic house with a symmetrical façade and a tower, set in grounds with a lawn and a wooden swing; the rooms have wooden floors, and one sitting room has a fireplace.
Multilingual staff are mentioned, and rooms are cleaned once a week. Breakfast is available for an extra charge. The château has no lift, which is worth remembering if you are travelling with heavy luggage. A tourist tax of 2.75 per cent is payable at the property.
The listing does not say how many rooms or apartments there are, nor whether the owners live on site, so it is worth checking the details of your chosen room on Expedia before you book. Free parking without service is available, with a limited number of spaces.
The sources used for this guide do not document the history of the Château du Breuil itself, so no construction date or former owners are given here. The timeline above instead places the stay in its surroundings, which are rich in medieval and Loire Valley history.
The château stands in the Layon valley, where vines have given the area its appellation, and a few kilometres from the Loire, whose valley has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2000.
The details below come from the Expedia listing (as of 14 Oct 2026); room details may vary from room to room.
