From the royal Château de Langeais overlooking one of the most remarkable Loire Valley landscapes that are now listed as a World Heritage site, to the Lac de Rillé in Castelvalérie, passing through the green valleys of Gâtine et Choisilles and the Racan countryside with its fine quality local produce, just as Ronsard did in his time, we invite you to wander around these glorious landscapes and to fall under the charm of a dynamic region, eager to welcome you.
This part of France is renowned for its gentle pace of life and, accordingly, you will discover marvels such as the game of Boule de Fort (an indoor bowls variation), the Route de la Terre, the tapestries of the Château de Champchevrier, the Châteaux of Cinq-Mars-La-Pile, Marcilly-sur-Maulne, La Roche-Racan, Beaumont-la-Ronce, Gizeux…, ancient chapels, the Collégiale de Bueil (collegiate church), the Abbaye de la Clarté-Dieu, old village washhouses, Bollée wind pumps, heather-roofed barns, the Chemin de Saint-Martin… and this "discreet" and sometimes moving heritage of Touraine landscapes that you will never forget.
Stay in our hotels, our gîtes and our chambres d’hôtes, and why not also try our gypsy caravans and our timber cabins … and savour our local produce and specialities in one of our restaurants or directly at one of our numerous producers.
Take time to visit our artists, sculptors, painters… and all the craftspeople who are keeping our traditions alive.
Soak up the magic and the ever-changing colours of the Loire River; observe the fauna and flora in our forests as you stroll down well-marked trails.
Our "Pays Loire Nature Touraine", is set between the Loire and Loir rivers, in the shadow of prestigious châteaux. During your stay, it will provide a moment of calm and relaxed living….a precious gift nowadays.
And what if you decided to stay even longer?
