The Loire is world famous for its beautiful Chateaux, very many of which are open to the public and should not be missed. The historic towns of Amboise, Blois, Saumur and Beaugency are jewels in the Loire's crown and therefore worth visiting.
Saumur, which is only a 15 minute drive from the gite is a beautiful town, bordering the Loire river where there are many pretty walks to amble along. A visit to the Chateaux is a must, there is an optional 90 minute guided tour which covers the porcelain and equestrian exhibits.
The 'Parc Mini Chateaux' at Amboise is a revelation. Go along and marvel at the 44 chateaux in miniture which grace the Loire. Gasp in admiration of workmanship and the care taken building these fantastic 'mini' chateaux. Everything is laid on for you to enjoy: a fantastic meal either in the restaurant, sandwich bar or picnic area.
Chateau Villandry; The elegance of the renaissance. Villandry is renowned for the harmony of its architecture and its gardens and is the last of the great Renaissance Chateaus built on the banks of the Loire and less than 45 minutes drive from the gîtes.
