Well-known for its castles, the Loire Valley is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. By spending your holidays there, you will be able to see a lot of landscapes and architectural wonders. Here are 10 things that you should not miss!
1. To begin, you really must see and visit the Loire châteaux: château d’Ussé, château d’Azay-le-Rideau, château de Chenonceau, château de Chambord and of course the gardens at the Château de Villandry. We ensure that this is the first thing to do when visiting this destination. Find out more about the Loire Chateaux with CroisiEurope.
2. Renowned to be the longest river in France, the Loire is the last “wild river” in the country. Its region has a very rich culture to discover and you can immerse yourselves into the French art de vivre. If wine-tasting is something you like, the wine route of the Muscadet through the vineyards of the Nantes region is the best way to learn about the production of the famous French wine.
3. Another way to discover the Loire is to go to Saumur and the Cadre Noir. This horse riding school emphasizes the harmonious relations between humans and horses. You can visit the Grand Manege and continue your visit by visiting Saumur and its fortifications.
