It’s hard to say
which is more magnificent: the fabled châteaux of the Loire Valley or the
fertile countryside of the “Garden of France."
Here is a vacation that gives you the best of both.
Following gentle, scenic bicycling routes, you’ll visit the most famous of
these storied castles and explore the medieval town of Blois in the company of a local historian. Discover
the magnificent gardens at the Chateau de Villandry and the dahlia and tomato
collections at our hotel, Chateau de la Bourdaisiere. Savor the region’s
abundance during delicious meals and a tasting of local wines. Our selection of
quality hotels ensures that you’ll return home both exhilarated and relaxed.
