General Information
Chateau D' Artigny Hotel, a magnificent 18th century style edifice built by the famous perfume creator, Francois Coty. Its shining white stone is set off perfectly by the green of the 50 acre park surrounding it.
Built during the Hundred Years' War, the Chateau d'Artigny formed part of the defence system constructed along the Indre River around the Montbazon keep. On 30th July 1912, Joseph Spoturno, known as François Coty, the famous perfume maker, bought the chateau. Attracted by the site, he had the chateau, which was in a rather "patchwork" architectural style, demolished, in order to build the present chateau in a pure 18th century style. Building lasted from 1912 to 1929.
At his death in 1934, the chateau was sequestered at the demand of his many creditors. In 1940, the chateau was occupied successively by the Headquarters of the Ministry of the Navy, by German troops up to 1942 and by an Annex of the General Hospital of Tours. Finally, it became a temporary hospital once again until 1946. When the perfume maker's daughter inherited it in 1947, several offers to purchase were made to her. Ultimately, it was Mr. René Traversac who acquired it in 1959 in order to transform the chateau into a luxury hotel.
