Loire Valley

The Loire Valley, sometimes known as ‘the Garden of France’, is a stunningly scenic river valley flowing past opulent chateaux and colourful gardens, grand houses and productive vineyards. Once a playground for the nobility it retains an air of splendour particularly in the chateaux-studded Indre-et-Loire. The entire area is richly fertile, renowned for its superb food and drink offerings supplied by organic winemakers, cheesemakers, fruit and vegetable farmers, game producers and more. Rural life is thriving but so are sophisticated cities like Orléans, Blois, Tours and Angers. Dig deeper into this Unesco World Heritage Site from one of our special places to stay, all inspected and selected by our trusty team.
