Staying at the Manoir du Bois Noblet: a night in a Saumur-area manor house
To stay at the Manoir du Bois Noblet is to sleep in a small stone house with several chimneys, surrounded by lawns and open countryside, rather than in a grand château on the visitor trail. Wikipedia lists it, together with the neighbouring Manoir de Vau, among the 16th-century manor houses of the commune of Louerre. The Expedia listing presents it as a rural address with a garden, terrace, picnic area, library and banquet hall.
As for the rooms, the listing mentions free Wi-Fi, soundproofing, bathrobes, a flat-screen TV with digital channels, a kettle for coffee or tea and central heating. Bed linen and towels are provided and the rooms are cleaned daily. The listing's photos show traditional interiors, with a four-poster bed, wooden furniture and a kitchen with copper pans hanging from the ceiling.
A continental breakfast is included every day from 8 to 10 am. On site, a restaurant and a table d'hôte serve French cooking in the evening. For relaxing there are also a library, a billiards table, a games room and a children's playground. There is no lift.

The Manoir du Bois Noblet and the history of Louerre
- 848 – A large farming villa, already established in Gallo-Roman times near the source of the Aubance, is mentioned as Landrum Villa on the territory of Louerre.
- 16th century – The date Wikipedia gives to the Manoir du Bois Noblet, as well as to the neighbouring Manoir de Vau, in the commune of Louerre.
- 17th century – The gentilhommière of La Félonière, another house in Louerre, is built; it has an 18th-century oratory.
- 1984 – The church of Saint-Maurice in Louerre is listed as a historic monument.
- 1 January 2016 – Louerre merges with Ambillou-Château and Noyant-la-Plaine to form the new commune of Tuffalun, of which it is now a delegated commune.
The sources consulted do not detail the history of the Manoir du Bois Noblet itself: they only date it to the 16th century and list it among the places and monuments of Louerre, alongside the Manoir de Vau, the Beauregard tower overlooking the forest and several troglodyte sites.
Louerre is an Anjou commune in the Saumur area, largely covered by forest, with scattered hamlets (Le Vau, La Haute and La Basse Coudre, La Chaslerie, La Trésorerie, La Dronière) and many troglodyte sites. Wikipedia also mentions a memorial to a supposed battle between Crassus's Romans and Dumnacus's Gauls.
