The Loire Valley has something to offer everyone. An impressive collection of chateaux, abbeys, luxury villas and cathedrals dot the countryside. Quaint cobblestoned villages give way to seemingly endless vistas of meadows, orchards and vineyards. Known as The Garden of France, the Loire Valley boasts some of the finest produce in Europe. Truly a gardener's delight, the region's lush, fertile meadows are a feast for the senses. Part of the valley has recently been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and no wonder. With so much history and such regional beauty and fare, a trip to the Loire will surely be memorable.
