La Roche Coliving

I found this coliving space on Airbnb last summer and decided to give it a shot, even though I'd never been to Langeais before. It's even more stunning in person than it is in the photos.

My experience was so fantastic that I extended my stay to a month. If I could have stayed longer, I totally would have!

During my time there, I met colivers from all over the world - China, Australia, the US, Spain, and France. It was pretty cool, and although I've traveled extensively, it definitely broadened my horizons.

The hosts are some of the kindest people I've ever met, and they were always warm and welcoming. I still recall how one host would always make me feel right at home with their warm words. Plus, it was great brushing up on my French and learning more about French culture from them.

Langeais is in a great spot - away from the craziness of city life, but still close enough to easily get to Tours and even Paris. I even managed to squeeze in a weekend trip to London from the airport in Tours, which was super convenient.

The WiFi was solid, and there was plenty of space to unwind whenever I needed some alone time. But there were also lots of fun times shared with the hosts and other guests, like dinners, drinks, Sunday markets, wine tastings, and other activities in Langeais.

I'm already counting down the days until I can return, and I cannot recommend this coliving space highly enough.

This place is a true slice of paradise in France. It's quite the challenge to leave once you've settled in...

The history-rich environment takes you back in time. The charming, wooden-paneled library, for example, is an ideal quiet space for remote work, surrounded by books or fellow residents. The idyllic and tranquil setting is perfect for unwinding, whilst still being conveniently close to town. Ancient trees embrace the building and it's not uncommon to spot a variety of wildlife at the edge of the property or on the fringe of the park.
The tastefully decorated rooms have all the necessary comforts to make everyone feel at ease in their personal space.

The family-like and warm atmosphere easily lends itself to making local or international acquaintances, during shared moments by the fireplace in winter, or on the terrace in summer. There are wood-fired pizza nights with an in-house oven or barbecues, indoor or outdoor movie nights, board games or billiards sessions, yoga classes or swims in the pool, walks in the park or hikes in nearby forests, tours of castles or regional wine cellars...

In short, the welcoming and attentive hosts have turned this coliving into a precious spot where living together comes with a French country air. It's pure joy!

This coliving space was the perfect base to stay in. There was a large sense of community but some folks could easily stay out of it if they prefer. I had a wonderful time during my stay and would highly recommend staying at the castle.

I loved staying here so much. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to spend 1 month in the French countryside. The hosts were amazing and very helpful, and there are plenty of activities to do in the area.

I had a great stay at this coliving! Julien and Raphaëlle are very welcoming hosts and always offer activities to do with the other colivers! The pool is also a nice addition during this early summer! I will come back.

I loved staying here so much. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special way to spend a month in the French countryside. The hosts were amazing and super helpful, and there are a ton of things to do in the area.

The coliving is a unique place for long-term stays. My room was private with a very clean private bathroom, functional work space, and comfortable bed and linens. The property and grounds are spectacular. The common areas are also well equipped with reliable wi-fi and plenty of places to work throughout the house. There's a supermarket across the street, with a short walk to the town of Langeais, which hosts a pretty large market every Sunday. Plus, you can easily catch the train from Langeais to Angers, Tours, and beyond, so traveling without a car is no problem. Finally, it was great to connect with other guests as well as Julien, Raphaëlle and their friends who were all very friendly and well-connected in the community. They went out of their way to arrange activities and make my stay memorable. I highly recommend this coliving!

This coliving is an unparalleled living environment. The owners are warm and welcoming, the space is (very) spacious and beautiful... I spent a few amazing months here, I highly recommend this coliving without hesitation.
