Top Things to do in Loire Valley
The 10 Best Shopping in Loire Valley, Centre-Val de Loire
Old world villages and storybook chateaux bedeck the Loire, once fought over by Gauls, Romans, Visigoths and even Attila the Hun. Rent bikes and roll through the lush valley, visiting fortresses in Amboise and Angers, UNESCO-designated Chartres Cathedral and the Gothic cathedral in Nantes. Musee Jules Vernes houses replicas of inventions designed by the futuristic author. Pay respects to other former residents: the Romans in Tours, the cave dwellers of Touraine, and the liberator of Orleans, Joan of Arc.

What an incredible place where you start wandering around those enormous caves where 3 artists have sculpted around 30 pieces of art in the caves walls! Then Fred Bourillon, the owner, takes the time to make you taste his delicious very high quality Vouvray wines (dry, semi-dry, sweet & sparkling). What a wonderful holidays memory we left this wine cellar with!
