France - The Loire Valley

Usse, LoireFamed for its magnificent châteaux and its wide, lazily flowing rivers, the Loire region – the 'garden of France' – is a delight. With a gentle terrain of rolling vineyards and broad valleys, this is perhaps the best region in France for lazy days exploring on foot or two wheels. Spend your days visiting the elegant châteaux, calling in at vineyards for a taste of the deliciously dry and refreshing local wines, and basking on the riverbank in the warm sunshine.
