Overview

The classic tour for any beginning rider in search of fairy tales, romantic roads and the exquisite cuisine. Discover at a slow pace the beautiful Loire Valley; what once was the exclusive paradise of the kings of France and their court is now a UNESCO site open to visitors from all over the World. This classic itinerary has a bit for everyone: quaint villages, natural reserves with dozens of different bird species, unique gastronomic features, and for the dessert lover, the Tarte Tatin. The Loire Valley produces 25 AOC wines like Sancarre, Pouilly, and Touraine et Chinon.
