Discover Cellettes: Hotels and Heritage

When looking for a hotel in Cellettes, you can plan your stay around specific interests: historic architecture at Château de Conon, sculptures along a walking route, and opportunities for walking and cycling. These themes suit different travel plans. At the château, the focus is on the enclosure and the painted decorations in the residential wing; at the Musée-Promenade Louis Derbré, it is on a collection linked to a route through art, history and nature. For active days, there are also walking opportunities along the Beuvron and a named cycling loop. You can first choose the focus of your stay, then look for hotels in Cellettes.

Château de Conon: architecture and historical references

Château de Conon has been documented since the 13th century. Its enclosure includes square and round towers framing the entrance to the estate. The contrast between the shapes defines the entrance and gives the grounds a distinct architectural focus. The residential wing contains painted decorations from the 17th century. Two historical reference points therefore stand out: the château’s documented history dating back to the 13th century and the painted decorations from the 17th century. You can distinguish between the enclosure and the details in the residential wing. In this way, the château combines an exterior architectural feature with dated decoration inside.

Sculptures along the walking route

The Musée-Promenade Louis Derbré is located in Château de Conon and its five-hectare wooded park. It displays 150 sculptures, including almost 50 monumental works. The sculptures are distributed along a walking route that brings together art, history and nature. This focus differs from looking at the enclosure and residential wing: at the Musée-Promenade, a collection is presented in connection with a route. The figures also convey two levels of information: 150 describes the collection as a whole, while almost 50 of the works are classified as monumental. For your planning, the combination of sculptures and a walk offers a distinct way to experience art, complemented by the themes of history and nature.

Landscape, walking and cycling

The Beauregard landscape park covers 40 hectares and is listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments. At the Musée-Promenade, the five hectares refer to the wooded park where the museum is located; the sculptures are distributed along a walking route. The area figures and descriptions therefore reflect different park profiles: Beauregard is characterised as a landscape park listed in the monuments inventory, while the château park is characterised by its connection with the Musée-Promenade. Before visiting Beauregard, you can check the current visitor information.

Cellettes offers opportunities for walks along the Beuvron. From Cellettes, you can also take the Châteaux à Vélo No. 4 cycling loop, “entre vignobles et châteaux”. This gives you two different ways to enjoy outdoor activities: walking opportunities along the river and a named cycling loop. As route details may change, check the latest information about the loop before planning your trip.
