Touraine and the Valley of the French Kings

Trapped between past and present, Touraine is a region all to itself, bursting with gardens, with orchards and with vineyards, and which fascinates the visitor with the beauty of its landscapes, the contrast between unspoiled nature and the elegant silhouettes of the Châteaux of the Loire.

The majestic châteaux of Chambord, Chenonceau, Blois and Amboise are testament to the history of a France still in the cradle of the Loire, unique among rivers, and rightly called the “last wild river in Europe.” Imprinted with the Renaissance, the valley of the French Kings is the only place in the world to feature such a concentration of seats of power. 

It is enough to follow the looping bends of the Loire to experience a journey through time – and to bask in the art of refined living typified by the entire area, a region designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
