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.

Fabulous leaders and incredible route - pathways along the river or back country roads or cycling through small cute towns. Mostly flat - and very nicely paced with coffee and photo stops, or lunch, or a chateau visit! Only reason this didn’t get excellent from me was some of the hotels could have been better (and their free breakfasts)

Amazing food and service, overall good value. Unfortunately for us, the currents were too strong to sail often, due to heavy rain, so had to stay in Nantes for most of the time
