The Loire valley spans 280 km and is referred to as the garden of France, due to the abundance of vineyards, orchards, asparagus and artichoke fields. The central part of the Loire river is now a UNESCO world heritage site and you can expect more than 200 hours of sunshine per month in summertime. The Loire valley wine region is known for its crisp and fruity flavoured wines.

A beautiful landscape at the foot of the Morvan Mountains, where forests give way to lakes and little rivers turn the vast grazing fields of the famous white Charolais cattle into a lush green, hiking or bicycle tours or a promenade on horseback will be an unforgettable experience.
