An area of France that is known for its gentle pace of life and wonderful scenery, the Loire Valley has for years been seen as the perfect place in the country to relax and get back to the natural feel of this beautiful landscape.
This area has at times been called the garden of France due to its rolling hills and amazing vineyards that provide for the country’s ever so famous wine industry. As you take a stroll through the hills and wander around the fields you could easily see why many have a desire to stay in this area forever and not return to their former homes.
Some of the finest examples of French chateaux and castles are visible throughout the Loire Valley. Chambord, the largest of the castles in the region has an aura about it that makes you feel as though you truly have slipped back in time when you take a visit. Whereas the unrivalled beauty of the white stone town of Amboise makes it easy to see why this area has been frequented by writers and poets for many years.
The Cathedral of Chartres, which is renowned around the world for its amazing medieval architecture, is certainly worth a visit and some of the examples of sculpture and stain-glass inside are really something to be marvelled at.
With so many amazing natural and man-made attractions around the region, it’s clear that if you can pull yourself away from the amazing food and drink that this region produces for long enough, there really is something amazing to be found.
