Les Pagodes de Beauval, Chinese-themed hotel and restaurant in Seigy, France
Les Pagodes de Beauval is a hotel and restaurant in Seigy, in the Loire Valley, built and decorated in a Chinese architectural style. The property has rooms, a restaurant called Le Sichuan, a lagoon pool, and gardens designed with traditional Chinese architectural elements.
The property was built to offer lodging close to the ZooParc de Beauval, one of the most visited wildlife parks in France. Craftspeople from several Chinese provinces were brought in during construction to apply traditional techniques to both the interior and exterior of the building.
The name of the property comes directly from the pagoda-style towers that shape its roofline and give the building its recognizable silhouette. Guests walking through the corridors encounter hand-painted porcelain pieces and carved wooden furniture made by craftspeople from different Chinese provinces.
The hotel sits very close to the ZooParc de Beauval, making it easy to walk or drive to the park entrance. Booking well in advance is a good idea, especially during school holidays, as the area draws a lot of families.
The restaurant takes its name from Sichuan, a Chinese province known for its use of bold spices, and the menu reflects that regional cooking style rather than a generic interpretation of Chinese food. The dining room holds around 70 people, which gives it a noticeably more personal feel than most hotel restaurants of this size.
