Discover Centre-Val de Loire
A whole region to explore
Centre-Val de Loire follows the Loire and its tributaries through one of France’s great historic landscapes, combining celebrated châteaux, vineyard country, cathedral towns and peaceful rural areas.
The region is ideal for touring holidays: Chambord, Chenonceau and Amboise sit alongside Orléans, Tours, Bourges and Chartres, while quieter valleys, forests and wine villages reward slower exploring.
