Driving in the Loire Valley Countryside in a Classic Citroen Car

This is the famous N10, the route many French people took when they headed for their summer holidays on the Atlantic coast. It is also the route of the old pilgrim road to Spain. Why not join us and do part of it in style, in a vehicle entirely suited to the road's heyday.

Clafoutis for Dessert in the Loire Valley

Clafoutis is a dessert for the all too brief cherry season. I make it about once a week when we have cherries, and all the traditional workers restaurants serve it. It’s a home baking classic here, not something that you buy at the patisserie. If you want to try it let us know when you book a tour with us. If it's cherry season, there will be clafoutis.
