A Living Heritage: Where History, Nature, and the Good Life Meet
The Loire Valley and the Cher region do more than simply recount history through their majestic castles and medieval towns; they invite you to experience it to the fullest. Here, you can discover the region’s heritage at nature’s own pace, along the waterways, and through culinary encounters. A true art of living awaits you, where each day revolves around simple pleasures and outdoor activities.
A land of adventure and unspoiled nature
The Loire, Europe’s last great wild river, is the ideal playground for those who love to be active.
The Loire by Bike: With over 900 km of marked trails, it’s a paradise for cycle tourism. Pedal from castle to castle on safe paths, passing through picturesque villages.
Canoeing and Kayaking: Glide silently along the river to admire the castles from a unique perspective. It’s the must-do activity for getting up close to Chenonceau on the Cher river or Chaumont-sur-Loire.
Hiking : Between forest trails and towpaths, explore the local flora and fauna at your own pace.
The “Tourangelle” Way of Life
The Loire Valley and the Cher region are also a land of local flavors where hospitality reigns supreme.
Gourmet Getaways: Meet our winemakers for wine-tasting tours. Discover the secrets of the local appellations (Touraine, Chinon, Vouvray) and pair them with local specialties.
Open-Air Cafés «Guinguettes»: In summer, soak up the bohemian atmosphere of the open-air cafés. With your feet in the sand or on the riverbanks, enjoy a drink and live music as the sun sets.
Picnics and Flea Markets: Immerse yourself in local life by browsing the many village flea markets, then set up your picnic on the peaceful banks of the river.
