Loire Valley Tours & Trips
Have you ever wondered where French royalty spent their summers? The Loire Valley's got your answer – châteaux everywhere. From Angers through Saumur to Chambord's massive Renaissance castle, this UNESCO region basically lines the river with royal estates. Central France's Loire winds from Orleans through Tours, creating the world's most château-dense valley. Kings knew what they were doing.

Food excellent, staff good, entertainment good but restricted by long service time of meals; by the time meal was over most people were too tired to enjoy the entertainment. Sadly restricted itinerary meant too much time in Nantes and long bus journey rather than Cruising which was not aim of trip.
Christmas on the Loire (port-to-port cruise) - T
Tom • traveled in August
Fantastic trip. Hotels were tremendous, especially the meal in the hotel in Saint Florent-le-Vieil. Maps were good though I used my app Bikemap.net, to act as a Sat Nav. A couple of hiccups with luggaeew but minor in comparison with holiday organisation. Would certainly recommend.
