Blois, Chinon, Orléans, Saumur, and Tours.
The Loire Valley (Val
de Loire) is known as the Garden of France and the Cradle of the
French Language.
It has benefited throughout history from its
popularity with the French Royal Families who have left a
wonderful legacy in the form of its many chateaux, gardens and
parks.
Such has been their influence that UNESCO has
designated the whole valley a world heritage site.
