Staying in Castles and Chateaux in Loire area on way back to Paris

We have gotten great tips so far from these forums. I hoping some of you might have so more great advise, First we are planning on spending one night in Le Mont Saint Michel:. Any recommendation on where to stay on the Mount? We are in our 60s and in pretty good shape just don't want something that is to hard to reach. Looking at La Mère Poulard which seem lower down or Auberge Saint Pierre but location is everything so any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.

We then plan to drive to the Loire Valley area and want to stay in Castles / Chateau Hotels. Willing to do one night stays to get the opportunity to spend time and more locations and work our way toward Paris I listed a few below I have found but would love input on these or other locations. What route you recommend and the best locations plus any on the way back to Paris from Loire since we will be head back to Paris. Plan on spending 3 or 4 nights. Prefer locations that have a restaurnat on site. We will be there in Aug.

1. Chateau de Chissay,
2 CHATEAU DE PRAY
3. Château D'artigny
4. Le Château de Marçay

4. Abbaye Des Vaux De Cernay
5 Castle of Esclimont

Thanks you so much for your thoughts and ideas. Linda

Could you please correct the spelling in your title to Chateaux, and Loire?

Of those listed, we have only stayed at Chateau de Pray. It's a lovely little chateau hotel just a few km outside Amboise. They serve a very nice breakfast and an excellent, though expensive, dinner. However you will have a large variety of meal choices in nearby Amboise. We had 3 full days of chateau exploring from there, visiting places in both the west and east Loire. You're spoiled for choice.
