Description

Between the Gothic glories of Chartres and Bourges, this guide follows France’s most famous river from the vineyards of Sancerre in the east to its outpouring into the Atlantic Ocean in the west. The beautiful châteaux, splendid churches and towns of the region are widely explored and their stories told. If you want to get off the beaten track, this guide will also show you the Loire’s more secret corners, including the best places to sleep, wine, and dine in its many châteaux, vineyards, and tranquil villages.
