Renowned for its sumptuous chateaux, the relics of royal days gone
by, the glorious valley of the Loire is rich in both history and
architecture. Like the river Loire, this vast region runs through
the heart of French life. Its sophisticated cities, luxuriant
landscape and magnificent food and wine add up to a regional
paradise.
The magnificent chateaux of the Loire are a major attraction for
lovers of art and history. They sit in verdant landscapes of forest
and gardens. The rivers of the region cut a picturesque vision
through the countryside. You will also discover other treasures of
the region: the troglodyte caves, sleepy hamlets and small
Romanesque churches.
Often called the “Garden of France”, the Loire Valley is an
enchanted land of vineyards, flowers and rolling green hills.
Producing much of the fruit and vegetables sold throughout France,
as well as some of the country’s best goat cheese. Mushrooms are
also cultivated here in the soft stone of the tuffa caves.
A region bordered by many vineyards results in delightful and
extremely varied wines: fruity reds and dry whites. Our tours to the
Loire Valley will allow you to enjoy chateau visits, wine tastings
and regional gastronomy.
