For instance, principal Jean-Michel Wilmotte turned black-and-white photographs of the château into wallpaper for the 55 guest rooms. In reception, nearly floor-to-ceiling built-ins lined with books give the feel of a large country home. The terrace off Grand Saint Michel, the hotel’s restaurant, affords views of Francis I’s massive country home, the largest château in the Loire Valley.<\/p>\n
