luxury houses for sale Loir-et-Cher, France (page 8)

Réf. 4458 : Character home for sale in Loir et Cher department. In the heart of the popular touristic village of Trôo on the banks of the Loir river this home offers comfortable accommodation for a family and guests. The village has 3 restaurants and a short drive (or cycle ride) sees you in the local market town of Montoire sur Loir, 20 mins drive into Vendome or 40mins into Tours both with their TGV links to Paris and beyond. Its layout, made up of tiered terraces, caves, paths and staircases, is highly unusual. With no real streets or center, it's curiosity that makes you want to explore it further. The most common interpretation of its name is “trou”, an allusion to the caves that hollow out the hillside. Trôo would be the old English or Angevin spelling. Its troglodytic dwellings give an idea of how people lived in the past, and the underground network of caves and galleries is a reminder that turbulent periods in our history led people to take refuge here Trôo's history swings between glory days and decline: a privileged geographical location, a territory coveted by the kingdoms of England and France, a resentful Henry IV, a wealthy town of 5,000 souls, religious links, a population involved in the political process... The peaceful 21st century has seen the emergence of a village where life is good, appreciated by tourists, second homes and residents alike. It is all about « lifestyle », whether chateaux, manor or winegrowers cottage each property offers a certain lifestyle to those who have the opportunity to live within.
