Sologne : Top 4 des lieux à voir autour du Domaine Les Hauts de Bruyères

Starting from the Les Hauts de Bruyères estate in Chaumont-sur-Tharonne, in the Sologne region, the escape extends beyond the 110 hectares of pine forest, the lake, and the wild river. Head to four charming locations to disconnect from everyday life… and reconnect with the region. First stop: the Château de Chambord, a Renaissance masterpiece commissioned by François I, the only royal estate to have remained intact since its creation. Inside, the double-helix staircase inspired by Leonardo da Vinci; at the top, panoramic terraces; surrounding it, a park where deer roam freely. Second stop: Orléans, crossed by the Loire, the longest river in France. The George V Bridge and the memory of Joan of Arc, the Sainte-Croix Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art, and the quays of the left bank, redesigned for leisurely strolls along the river. Third stop: the Sologne des Étangs (Sologne of Ponds) with its more than 2,800 ponds created in the Middle Ages, its villages with their half-timbered houses and red brick buildings, its local honey, its Nançay shortbread cookies, and its famous Sologne caviar. Final visit, with your head in the stars: the Nançay Radio Astronomical Observatory, one of the largest radio telescopes in the world, and the immersive planetarium at the Pôle des Étoiles (Star Center), under its eight-meter dome. Before returning, in the evening, to the peaceful wooded retreat of the cottage. 📍 Domaine Les Hauts de Bruyères — Chaumont-sur-Tharonne, Loir-et-Cher (Centre-Val de Loire region). 1 hour 45 minutes from Paris, 2 hours from Tours, 2 hours 30 minutes from Lyon. ⏱ Chapters 00:00 Recharge your batteries at Les Hauts de Bruyères resort 00:35 Visit the Château de Chambord 01:32 Travel up the Loire River to Orléans 02:43 Slow down in the Sologne des Étangs region 03:34 Observe the sky at the Nançay Observatory 04:23 Find peace and quiet in your cottage ➽ Subscribe to our channel so you don't miss our next videos:    / centerparcs-france   ➽ On this channel, explore every nook and cranny of a VIP cottage, learn how bees make honey, discover all the activities at a resort, in short, immerse yourself in the world of Center Parcs!
