Our Loire valley experiences follow the gentle curve of river Loire, from the Princes and horse town of Saumur in the west, to the city of Blois and wine area Sancerre further east. When hearing the word Loire, you will probably picture in your mind France’s most famous renaissance chateaux and gardens, such as Chambord or Chaumont-sur-Loire ; Outstanding architectural achievements, they’re an absolute delight for the history lovers but also for every curious traveler. But Loire is also the occasion to reconnect with nature and time. You will sail on the river, in a traditional wooden boat, watch the wildlife as you disembark on one of the many islands and enjoy a glass of wine with cheese in the setting sun. You will ride your bicycle in front of the most prestigious chateaux and quiet villages. Gourmets will sample their way through farmers markets and will learn how to make french bread in an 18th century farmhouse and will discover how Loire iconic grape Chenin express itself through different appellations.
