Loir-et-Cher tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to do
The Loir-et-Cher was favoured by kings from the 15th - 18th centuries for its temperate climate and acres of rich forestland.
Set between the rivers Loire and Cher - home to deer, eels, carp & pike.
This is the place for the Grand Chateaux Tour including the Chateau de Cheverny and the Chateau de Chaumont with its superb views of the Loire.
The Loir river to the north is certainly more tranquil than the main Loire river itself. You'll find troglodyte caves, fishing, boat trips, and great walking. The enticing vineyards around Ponce-sur-Loir produce the excellent Jasnieres and Coteaux du Vendomais wines.
- Hot-air ballooning at Monthou-sur-Cher - balloon flights that enable you to get a bird's eye view of the delights of the Loire.
- Chateau de Chambord - Leonardo de Vinci possibly had a hand in the design of this pleasure-palace described as 'truly royal' by Henry James.
- Vendome - explore the historical centre of medieval Vendome by boat starting at the Pont Perrin.
- Wine tasting at Lunay - the Cave GAEC Claude Minier is run by 5th generation wine producers known for their 'coteaux du Vendomais' wines and fine goat's cheese.
