Introducing The Loire
For a taste of the lavish lifestyles of the aristocracy in centuries past, look no further than the beautiful Loire region. This is famous chateau country with some of the grandest country manors and fortified castles anywhere in France. It’s hardly surprising it has been listed by Unesco as a World Heritage site. A rural and relaxing place to explore on foot or on two wheels, though it can get a bit overrun in high summer.
