Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

For a trip to La Vernelle, several specific themes go hand in hand: the AOP range from Fromagerie P. JACQUIN & Fils, seasonal visits to Fromagerie Jacquin, and the themed circular walking trail “Herbage, Cépages Et Fromage”. The landscape can also be understood through two Natura 2000 designations: one bird protection area covers part of the municipality, while another borders La Vernelle. Culinary interests, an appointment on site and a walk through the landscape offer different starting points for planning your stay.

Cheese and visits

The AOP range from Fromagerie P. JACQUIN & Fils includes Selles-sur-Cher, Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, Valençay, Pouligny-Saint-Pierre and Crottin de Chavignol. The product range may change; if you are looking for a particular variety, check the current selection before your trip.

Visits to Fromagerie Jacquin are available from April to September on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to noon. Booking is recommended; confirm availability before your trip. The month, day of the week and morning time must all coincide for a visit. If the visit is the reason for your trip, check availability first and plan the rest of your stay around this seasonal time slot.

The “Herbage, Cépages Et Fromage” walking trail

The themed trail is a circular route on natural terrain. The trail can be reached on foot and by road. Check local access conditions before your visit. You should also take the current trail conditions into account when planning.

The visit and the walking trail require different preparation: for the visit, the seasonal combination of days and times matters; for the trail, access and conditions are the key points. If you are choosing between these options, the visit provides a more precise scheduling anchor, while you can plan the walk after checking local conditions.

Protected areas and landscape

Part of the municipality of La Vernelle lies within the Natura 2000 bird protection area “Plateau de Chabris / La Chapelle-Montmartin” (FR2410023). The relationship with the “Prairies du Fouzon” is different: this Natura 2000 bird protection area borders the municipality; La Vernelle forms a partial ecological extension of the area. The two statements describe different spatial relationships: part of the municipality lies within the first area, while the second is a neighboring area with a partial ecological extension.

Historical data on viticulture record winegrowing in La Vernelle. The municipality lies on the plain south of the Fouzon, which extends as far as Dun-le-Poëlier. These details broaden the landscape perspective in two different ways: through historical agricultural land use and the geographic plain, while the Natura 2000 areas identify specific protected areas. This helps place La Vernelle in context both through its landscape and through the geographically defined protected areas.
