Why Visit the Loire Valley in February?

The weather from November to January tends to be cold and wet in the Loire Valley, whereas in February we often experience a period of cold but dry weather. This means intense blue skies and bright sunshine, but temperatures between -5° and +5° celsius. This is crisp and cold. One of the few wild flowers that thrives in conditions like this are snowdrops. They are native to the Loire Valley and their flowers are something we all look forward to, as a harbinger of spring.

So don't hesitate to visit the Loire Valley in February. Rug up warm and book a walking tour. You will get some fabulous photos of some lovely things.
