France’s fairytale region of the Loire Valley is its castle country; filled with rich Renaissance architecture and medieval history. In this travel guide we’ll take you on an ultimate four day road trip itinerary of the Loire, including top attractions, its best châteaux, and even some hidden gems.
Often referred to as the ‘garden of France’ thanks to how verdant the landscape is and how many gardens are located within this vibrant region, we’ll head to famous towns like Blois before discovering the iconic châteaux of Chambord and Chenonceau. We’ll even explore forgotten little garden towns, discover what the local wine is like by visiting a vineyard, head underground in a former quarry turned mushroom farm and explore visit the biggest abbey in Europe.

Fabulous walk trhoughout the Loire valley! How many days you spent going to all these amazing places? I already went to Chambord last may and it's breathtaking, but will love to visit all the region. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Another great video (great video shots of beautiful/scenic sites and great narration). Please consider adding a map showing the places and sites you’re reviewing. It will help (at least me) to understand the relative locations of the sites for planning purposes.
Thank you for the beautiful video and lovely journey, really enjoying it. This channel should have more subscribers 😊

What a wonderful video….absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much! I will be sharing it and watching again💕🤗🤗
💙💙🤍🤍❤❤
Je te remercie pour ce vidéo! J’aime beaucoup la vallée de la Loire, mais ça fait longtemps que je n’y suis pas allée. Un jour j’espère revenir avec ma famille. 😊
What a beautiful vlog. In my humble opnion, perhaps one of your best – which is a tough ask as you've produced so many and I've not watched them all yet! Your vlog stands head and shoulders above others in this space. I love how the focus is always on the history, the architecture, the culture, the people and the landscape – they are the true stars. And thank you for breaking out the chapters – I'm already dreaming of a trip to the Loire and to the mushroom farm.
its funny how you say always "chateau" istead of caatle in english… meaning a respect french language and french history/culture…. you're a beautiful presenter. Congrats. I felt in love of "chateaux" so much that I've a bought a piece of it.. for my vacations.
fantastic!
i have been one of your huge fans……keep it on.
What a great video! Thank you so much, it helped me A LOT to plan our Loire Valley trip
Great video as always. However it looks very empty.. is it always that way?
Very relaxing and enjoyable, top notch 🌟🙌🎉 Shame about the chemtrail skies, Bill Gates still couldn't detract from the vid though
Difficult to hide….
Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece. I love your presentation and camera work, can't believe I've never heard of this Chateau before. You are also incredibly gorgeous and talented.
