THE ENVIRONMENT

In Touraine, the list of activities and leisures at hand mixes discovery and relaxation ! Small and large castles, gardens, markets...

Everything is an excuse to immerse yourself in the heart of nature and enjoy the benefits of a big breath of air !

Between history, architecture and heritage, discover the Loire Valley and the Cher in 3 days. Famous places and others more discreet, from the mysteries of old Blois to the banks of the Loire, conducive to daydreaming, let's go for a walk all in elegance through two proposals :
