Loire valley
Renowned for its sumptuous châteaux, 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 bourgeois paradise.
The lush Loire
valley is supremely regal.
Orleans was France's intellectual capital in the 13th
century, attracting artists, poets and troubadours to the royal
court. But the medieval court never stayed in one place for
long, which led to the building of magnificent châteaux all
along the Loire.
Chambord and Chenonceaux, the two greatest Renaissance châteaux
remain prestigious symbols of royal rule, resplendent with their
ornamental gardens.
Due to its central
location, culture and fine cuisine, Tours is the natural
visitor's capital.
Angers is a close second, but more authentic are the historic
towns of Amboise, Blois, Saumur and Beaugency, strung out like
jewels along the river.
This is the classic Loire valley, a château trail which embraces
the Renaissance gardens of Villandry and the fairytale turrets
of Azay-le-Rideau.
Venture northwards and the cathedral cities of Le Mans and
Chartres reign supreme, their medieval centres bordered by
Gallo-Roman walls.
Nantes in the west is a breezy, forward-looking port and gateway
to the Atlantic.
