about loire valley

The picture-book setting of Loire Valley, a World Heritage Site, is dominated by 160 stunning châteaux and the River Loire which meanders through the green hills. Small villages and towns have grown around the larger châteaux over the years, so there is plenty to discover and enjoy for all the family.

Destination Cooks will know the region for its fabulous wine and the quality of its game – the locals are said to live well off the land. The best produce is sold at the large Sunday market in Amboise.
