Roses in the Loire Valley

Roses do very well in the Loire Valley and in May and June we are awash with them. All the famous chateaux feature them in their gardens, and several villages draw visitors from near and far to see the roses planted along the old streets and in dedicated gardens, both public and private. If you are a rose lover then come and smell them with us. We know where all the best ones are.

Visit a Beautiful Village in the Loire Valley

You may have heard of the 'plus beaux villages de France' (the most beautiful villages in France). This is an official certification scheme for a few hundred charming and picturesque villages throughout France. These villages are tiny, with populations in the low hundreds. They are flower filled and rustic, enticing you to explore their hidden corners. These are real villages, where ordinary people live. In the Loire Valley we offer tours of one of these villages, the aptly named Montrésor ('my treasure'). If you want to enjoy its historic church, quirky chateau and peaceful riverbank walk then let us know and we'll include it in your itinerary.
