Our cottages are situated in the heart of chateau country in the Loire Valley, valley of the French Kings.  We are well placed for visiting these wonderful historic castles;  favourites include Chenonceau (just a short drive or cycle ride), ASmboise, Blois, Chambord, Chaumont and Cheverny, and west of Tours, Villandry, Ussé, Azay-le-Rideau.. 

We are also in the centre of the Touraine wine growing region;  our local wines are the Gamay grape, Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.  We are close to Vouvray renowned for its dry and sweet wines made with the Chenin grape.  We are also within an hour’s drive of Chinon, Saumur and Bourgeuil renowned for their Cabernet Franc.  Chinon is particularly interesting with its mediaeval streets and it was the site of the very first French Parliament.Visit Sancerre and Pouilly only a two hour drive by motorway and across country from the mediaeval city of Bourges, itself famous for its Cathedral.
