Walking in the Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is known for its spectacular chateaux – constructed at a time when the King of France and his favoured courtiers brought incredible dreams to life. Hiking amongst this royal playground is a delight – quiet forest paths, troglodyte caves, lush vineyards making a vast variety of wines, and then the enchanting chateaux themselves.

In your explorations of the Loire Valley you’ll love the medieval towns, infrastructure of sinuous rivers and streams, and delicious regional foods – all within quick and easy travel from Paris.
