Fairytale Toadstools in the Loire Valley

Have you ever wanted to see for real the red toadstools with white spots that appear in every fairy story illustration you've ever seen? Did you realise they grow wild in the Loire Valley? We can't guarantee you will see them on a tour with us, but they appear in the forests in the autumn, and we will be sure to point them out to you if we can. And no, they aren't edible, but do have a reputation for giving you visions and making you vomit if you do eat them.
