Brimming over with charm and character, our six towns will delight you with their picturesque architecture and their authenticity.

Four of them - Orléans, Blois, Amboise and Tours - are set on the banks of Europe's last untamed river, listed as World Heritage by UNESCO.




They reflect the history of the kings of France and still have a very close bond with the Loire, which was for a long time France's main economic artery.


Chartres and Bourges also have plenty to interest you! With their cathedrals, also listed as World Heritage, and their pedestrian streets bordered by half-timbered houses, these two medieval towns are absolutely ideal for a stroll.
