The inside story
Unesco World Heritage Site located at a short ride from Paris, the Loire Valley is known for its magnificent feudal castles, its pittoresque villages, its outstanding wines and sophisticated cities attesting to a thousand years of rich architectural, artistic and agrarian creativity.
2019 will mark the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the construction of the Royal Château of Chambord and the death of Leonardo da Vinci at the Château of Clos Lucé in Amboise. In order to celebrate this important historical milestone, each castle in the Loire region is organising events, concerts, exhibitions and games for visitors of all ages. It is therefore the perfect time to organise a visit of this region known as the cradle of the Renaissance in France!
