The Diderot is decorated with cheerful striped wallpaper, toile bedding, and 19th-century armoires scavenged on trips to Paris. In the distance lie vineyards full of the red Chinon grapes.

Known for its great country food, this inn has 26 brightly decorated rooms in shades of sage and rose, and a flower-filled garden terrace out back.
