What is the Cuisine of the Loire Valley?

In the north of France the flavours and colours are subtle, muted, often sophisticated and complex. This is the France of butter, cream, soft cheeses, white asparagus, endives or cabbages and delicate seasonings (thyme is about as strong as it gets and garlic is used judiciously). Here in the Touraine Loire Valley we are mostly influenced by this northern tradition. Why not do a tour with us and see for yourself what delicacy turns up on your plate?
