Once the hunting grounds of the French kings and noblemen, the Loire Valley is a treasure trove of chateaux and historic monuments and many stunning historic palaces including Azay le Rideau, Villandry and Langeais. However the area’s appeal doesn’t stop there: if fantastic wineries, wonderful fresh food and a laid back pace of life float your boat, this is the spot! The meandering Loire and Vienne rivers are close by, cycling along the towpaths, canoeing and fishing not to mention leisurely boat cruises are available here all year round. Fabulous medieval towns (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur) a-plenty, most of them with weekly markets, a haven for slow-food afficionados. If you plan a life/work balance, the tourism sector is vibrant here (gite rentals and B&B/restaurant opportunities) and many people commute successfully to the UK by air from Poitiers or Tours (both have regular flights to Stansted) or by TGV high speed train which serves Tours in under an hour from Paris.
