Absolutely. The valley is one of France’s most famous wine regions, producing Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Our tours include private tastings in the Vouvray or Saumur vineyards, where you’ll learn about local terroirs and traditional cellar methods.

The Loire Valley is a perfect synthesis of French “art de vivre”: Renaissance castles, fine wines, and harmonious landscapes shaped by the river.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it combines history, architecture, and nature : the essence of France in one region.

From April to October, the Loire Valley enjoys a mild climate and long daylight hours, perfect for gardens and outdoor visits. Autumn is ideal for wine lovers, when vineyards turn golden and harvests take place.

The Loire Valley is a natural continuation of a Normandy tour or Brittany tour : only a few hours drive away, offering a serene, royal, and sunny atmosphere.
It’s the perfect contrast : from D-Day itineraries to Renaissance castles, a full journey through French history.
