The Monial Room, open to the moat and horizon
The Monial Room opens onto the moat, the meadows and the horizon. Light moves through it freely, accompanying the hours of the day until evening.
Materials and tones compose a lived-in space, directly connected to the landscape, at the heart of the château-monastère de la Corroirie.
A room open to the horizon
From the Monial Room, the view reaches towards the moat, the meadows, the fields and the edges of the forest. Nothing stops the eye. The space naturally continues outside, in a calm continuity.
The openings allow light to enter widely. It accompanies the hours, changes the tones, and reveals or softens the reliefs of the landscape.
The room does not hold things back. It lets them circulate.
Light and the presence of materials
Fabrics and tones accompany the light without holding it back. Materials remain present without imposing themselves, in a simple balance.
The room has a 180 x 200 cm bed and a bathroom with shower and washbasin. It belongs to the set of rooms of the château-monastère de la Corroirie, conceived as different ways of inhabiting an ancient place still lived in today.
Staying here means inhabiting a room carried by light, in a different relation from the Seigneurial Room, which is more inward-facing and structured by volume.
From the Monial Room, extending the stay
From the Monial Room, the view naturally continues beyond the moat and the meadows. The horizon opens towards a broader landscape, where lines fade into the light.
A few minutes away, the village of Montrésor offers a first presence, between river and old stone. Further on, the royal town of Loches offers another way to explore the history of Touraine.
Some days extend this movement towards even more open places, such as the Château de Chenonceau, set over the water.
But often, what matters most remains here: in this simple opening between light, horizon and silence.

Other ways of inhabiting La Corroirie
The Monial Room belongs to a set of five rooms, each connected to the place in a different way.
Here, the eye reaches towards the moat, the meadows and the horizon, in a more open and central part of the place, where circulation naturally meets. A slight raised level distinguishes the sleeping area, opening the view differently towards the outside and the evening light. Elsewhere, the relationship changes: closer to the church and garden in the Cardinal Room, or more turned towards the landscape and sunset in the Pastoral Room.
Choosing the Monial Room means inhabiting a room carried by light and the horizon, in a more open relationship between the place, its passages and the landscape.
