We found Vazereau on a website for farmers and producers who sell their products directly at the farm as we were hoping to try the local goat's cheeses the region is famous for. It was only a short drive out of Chinon, and easy enough to find. We visited the cheese shop first, where the woman behind the counter was helpful and informative. We tried several of the cheeses before settling on a couple to buy. The cheeses, which range for the classic bûche, to several more matured versions, as well as tommes, a blue, a camembert style, and lots of fresh soft cheeses, were excellent. While at the shop we also bought a bag of feed for the goats, housed in a shed on the other side of the road to the farm shop. Feeding the goats was quite fun, they have so much personality and no qualms about pushing each other out of the way for the feed. It was a great place to stop, highly recommended!

This office is much better situated and much better equipped than the old office which was in the back streets. The staff are very helpful and there is a good level of information and souvenirs in the shop. It is well situated in the main area and well worth a visit if you requre information.

We found this little medieval church while looking for a spot to picnic next to the river. Lovely walk next to the river and a very special little church. Lots of frescoes and painted columns inside. Nice area for a picnic.
