Opera at the Chateau

You really never know what you are going to encounter on a Loire Valley chateau visit. Some of them put on shows in the evening and if you are lucky you can catch the rehearsals. Opera rehearsals at the chateau of Amboise are particularly good.

If you like to be surprised when visiting famous chateaux and see something more than just historic interiors, email us or use our contact form to book a tour.

Touring France in a Classic Car

Sometimes we are not the only ones touring the Loire Valley in our classic car. There are lots of French classic car clubs and it's always fun when we encounter them on an outing to a chateau.

If you like French classic cars, French chateaux and French wine, book a tour with us via email or use our contact form. The local classic car owners will be delighted to meet you and share their enthusiasm with a fellow classic tourer.

French Radishes Galore

Is this the biggest stack of radishes you've ever seen? It was photographed at the Wednesday market in Loches, and according to Fabrice, who grew them on his farm near the Chateau of Villandry, this is nothing compared to the pile he puts out for the Saturday market.

If you like fresh traditional French produce like these radishes (and those strawberries on the right!)  email or use our contact form and book a tour that includes a market and a great restaurant for lunch that serves produce from the market.
