The gite is situated in the South Touraine part of the Loire Valley in Central France. It is an excellent base for discovering this delightful and very famous area of France, with its many well known châteaux, beautiful countryside and numerous vineyards.
Many of the world famous Loire Valley châteaux, e.g. Amboise, Chenonceaux, Loches, Chinon, Azay-le –Rideau, Villandry, are all within 45 minutes drive. Chambord, Cheverney, Saumur, and Angers are a bit further, but easily accessible.
For children, who may get bored with chateaux, there are several theme parks and other places of interest, among them being Futuroscope, Amboise Aquarium, the excellent zoo at Beauval, the monkeys at Vallée des Singes, and the adventure park at Mosne.
For golfers there are three excellent courses within 45 minutes drive.
