Ghost Signs in the Loire Valley


Are you a fan of ghost signs? We are, and the Loire Valley is rich in these old advertising messages painted on to the sides of buildings. We photograph every one we see and would be delighted to share any on our route with you. They offer such a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Reflections in the Loire Valley


The Loire Valley has lots of water. There's all the rivers -- not just the Loire, but it's tributaries, like the Cher, the Vienne and the Indre. Then there are small man made lakes and fish ponds. On a still day the reflections are proper mirror images. A photographer's heaven.

Who Needs Sunflowers in the Loire Valley?


The sunflowers are a big attraction for many of our travellers, but don't be too disappointed if you miss them. The wild flowers in the Loire Valley can be stunning too. Check out these ox-eye daisies in profusion. We could also see vast swathes of poppies, and wherever we can, we will stop for photos. You couldn't do that on a bus tour.
