The Loire Valley is the remnant of an ancient tropical sea, hence all the limestone, which is formed by all the remains of sea creatures over millenia. It also means there are fossils everywhere -- in the rock used for the famous chateaux, but also loose in the soil in vineyards and vegetable gardens. Most vineyards have an impressive collection of fossils, picked up over the years from under the vines. If you are a fossil fancier why not join us for a tour that includes a winery? Don't forget to check the earth at the edge of the vineyards and fields. You never know what you will find.
