History


The Lion of la Perrière

Located in Messas in Beaugency’s canton of the “Petite Beauce”, the forest of Marchenoir in the North, the Loire River and the Sologne in the South, the Manoir de la Perrière gathers all the ingredients that have made the Loire Valley’s reputation so special over the centuries.

Kings of France, especially the Valois dynasty, enjoyed this region, its landscape, its people, its vineyards and its wines that made its fortune.

The Manoir de la Perrière is indeed the outcome of all of that, and the sizeable vaulted cellar that crosses the park is evidence with its ground formed of Beauce’s limestone.

There is an account of the Manoir’s origin given by the parish records of the abbot Hubert mentioning that the fief of Messas was held by the family Du Lac de Chamerolle.
