When my friend, designer Erica Tanov asked me to join her on a trip to France for a castle-hunting excursion, I jumped at the opportunity to tag along. After flying into Paris, we rented a car and drove 3 hours southwest to arrive at our home for the week, Maison D'Anjou in the small village of Treves, near Gennes-Val-De-Loire. A former 18th-century presbytery, the home is charmingly renovated with a mix of vintage furniture and art arranged with a thoughtful intention that felt both liveable and luxurious. The house was built in tufa stone which is an important part of the Loire valley's cultural identity and can be found in its innumerable castles, abbeys, towns, and villages.
