Staying in the Brenne Regional Natural Park can also be an opportunity to discover the Loire Valley, its wines and chateaux. The Loire, its tributaries and its tufa hillsides can be reached by car in less than two hours. They form an ideal setting for the local vineyards. In the heart of the troglodyte cellars of Touraine, many vintages lie waiting to be tasted at their best: Vouvray, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Montlouis-sur-Loire, and many other appellations among the Loire wines.
In this “valley of kings”, everywhere stand prestigious monuments that tell the history of France: the Amboise royal chateau , the chateaux of Clos Lucé, Azay-le-Rideau, Langeais, Ussé, Villandry, the royal fortress of Chinon, the royal city of Loches, without forgetting the chateau of Chenonceau !
