About Saint-Ouen-les-Vignes
Saint-Ouen-les-Vignes: Loire Valley Village Between Amboise and Blois
Saint-Ouen-les-Vignes is a small commune in the Indre-et-Loire department, positioned in the heart of the Loire Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage landscape recognised in 2000. The village sits roughly 8 km north-east of Amboise, placing it within easy reach of the Château d'Amboise and the Clos Lucé, the manor where Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years until 1519. Vineyards surround the settlement, reflecting the AOC Touraine appellation that produces the Sauvignon Blanc and Gamay wines associated with this stretch of the river.
Where to Stay
Accommodation in Saint-Ouen-les-Vignes runs to rural chambres d'hôtes and small gîtes rather than large hotels, attracting cyclists on the Loire à Vélo route — a marked 800 km cycling trail from the Atlantic to Burgundy — and visitors using the village as a quieter base for touring Chaumont-sur-Loire (15 km west) and Blois (30 km west).
