Say Cheese

Did you know that the Loire Valley is home to several famous AOP goats cheeses? Would you like to taste them and learn more about them? Book a tour with Loire Valley Time Travel and you can do just that!

Find out why the cheeses come in different shapes and how long they are aged. Learn what the coating on the outside of the cheeses is and what role organic rye straw plays in the production. Talk to cheese makers, affineurs and market stall holders about how much they make, where they buy it and where they sell it.

A New Favorite!

One of the advantage of living in the Loire Valley is that we have time to discover new places to show our visitors. Some of them are amazing "why didn't we know about this earlier" places, and some are quiet little corners where time seems to have stopped.

Yesterday we visited a place I had seen in 19th century postcards, but never actually managed to find on the ground.

I can see it becoming a favorite diversion on our tour that visits Loches and Montresor. For more information email us or use our contact form

The Sunflowers are Finished

The last two weeks of July and the start of August are the normal peak times for sunflowers in the Loire Valley. Sometimes the season is longer, but this year was warm enough for all the sunflowers to flower at their usual times and it was a spectacular show. Sometimes they last into late August, but not this year.

Not all is lost though. There will be sunflowers again next year, and if you want to see them with us and take some stunning photos, now is the time to book. Email us or use our contact form and ask us to find sunflowers in bloom for 2018.
