See Restoration up Close in the Loire Valley

Visitors who come in the winter are quite likely to encounter restoration projects underway in the chateaux of the Loire Valley. Sometimes rooms will be closed or there will be scaffolding up. Don't think of this as spoiling your visit, but an opportunity to have a unique experience. In winter there are very few visitors and the staff have time to talk to anyone who is interested in the behind the scenes challenges of managing a heritage property.
