Doing a Photoshoot on Your Loire Valley Holiday

If you would like to remember your holiday in the Loire Valley with a set of professionally taken photographs let us know. We can work together with a professional photographer colleague and provide the highlight of your visit. At certain times of year (during the low season) we are even able to get to areas that visitors are normally not allowed at certain chateaux. None of your friends will have photos like yours, and it is a lot of fun to do. Just ask us if you want a photo session as part of your tour.

A Top Tip for Getting the Best out of a Guided Tour

If your tour is chauffeured, be specific about where you want the pick up and drop off points to be, or take the guide's advice about where they should be. It helps the driver to plan the best route and work out a price. When a guide asks you where you are staying, provide the name of the hotel, not just the town. That way the guide is more likely to agree to pick you up at your accommodation rather than at another mutually agreed point.

Where to Stay in the Loire Valley

We are always very happy to recommend tried and trusted accommodation providers to visitors in the Loire Valley. We can advise on chateau-hotels, charming B&Bs, self-catering apartments or modern city hotels. The newest one on the scene is the Hilton in Tours, situated right by the best restaurants, museums, the Loire itself, and, as you can see in the photo, the ferris wheel on the river bank. Just tell us the sort of place you like to stay and we'll suggest a couple of accommodation providers we are confident you will love.
