Fields of Golden Sunflowers in the Loire Valley

Lots of clients tell us that one of their hopes for their day in the Loire Valley is to see fields of golden sunflowers. They've usually been told that July is the season for the glorious sunflower fields stretching to the horizon -- and we are happy to confirm that this is true.

Anyone who books for July is guaranteed a treat. The sunflowers will be out and proud!

If you want to see the sunflowers in all their glory, let us design a tour that meanders from chateau to chateau through sunlit yellow fields.

Joan of Arc in the City of Tours

Joan of Arc is a household name, and most people have a good idea of who she was and what she did. But they associate her with the City of Orleans, without realising that much of her story happened in Tours, Loches and Chinon -- all places that we do chauffeured or walking tours. Joan is a fascinating character, thoroughly deserving her international contemporary fame. We love to tell people some of the detail of her life and take them to places that she would still recognise.

The premises where Joan's armour was made.

Australians in the Loire Valley

Well there is us at Loire Valley Time Travel, for a start! Susan and Simon both grew up in Australia. But at the Chateau of Cheverny they have some other resident Australians on the estate. They add a charming touch of exoticism to the beautiful grounds. The Black Swans floating serenely on the river at the bottom of the garden are native to Australia.
