The Loire Valley is often called the "Garden of France" because of its enchanting vineyards, flowers and rolling green hills dotted with more than a thousand chateaux.

Within easy access from Paris, superb food and wine plus plenty of sports and leisure activities make this an ideal spot for a memorable holiday. Visitors can delight in the hotels and inns on picturesque cobblestone streets and take day tours to the many points of interest just minutes from every major Loire Valley town.
