Visit Touraine, at the heart of the Loire Valley (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
When you visit the region’s châteaux, you will discover an exceptional cultural landscape, made up of towns and historic villages, grand architectural monuments, and sweeping cultivated landscapes - all shaped by centuries of interaction between man and his environment, including the Loire river.
"What colour is the Loire?” Is she blue, green or blonde?... In the deeper waters, she mirrors the changing colours of the sky. Where her waters don’t run deep, which is just about everywhere, she’s the colour of sand, making her a blonde. She resembles those who live around her, accommodating folk, who voluntarily say what you would have wanted them to say, and who take on the colours around them…"Henri Guerlin
