Are You In Need of a Luxury Vacation? A Charming Castle Awaits You in the Loire Valley
A luxury chateau vacation awaits you in the Loire Valley in France. Certainly the main attractions of the Loire are romance, history and architecture. The renaissance castles built by Francois I and Charles VIII, Catherine de Medici and other royals during the hundred years that the French court relocated to the Loire Valley from Paris for its distinctive storybook charm.
Like the river Loire, this vast region runs through the heart of French life. It is now classed as part of the world heritage of mankind by Unesco (from Chalonnes-sur-Loire to Sully-sur-Loire). The lush Loire valley is supremely regal. Its sophisticated cities, luxuriant landscape and magnificent wine and food and wine add up to a bourgeois paradise.
Overindulgence is no sin in this rich region.
Foppish kings, surly queens, scheming princesses and evil princesses and aristocrats sculpted a flat riverbed valley into an enchanting fairytale landscape like no other place in Europe or for that matter the world.
Unlike the chateaux of the Loire Valley, the Loire Valley wines are a perennial secret. Some of France’s best winemaking occurs here although few Americans are aware of it. Even many French are unaware of some of the wonders now being produced in the Loire. But wine-bar and wine- shop owners and sommeliers, and all the wine press from Paris, London Brussels and Tokyo in the know spend their vacations visiting the Loire Valley.
The Loire Valley is the location of Sir Mick Jagger's favourite second residence a 16th century chateau near Amboise called La Fourchette. In London he may be affectionately known as the lead singer of Strolling Bones but in France is known as Mick de Fourchette, le pape du rock ,Dr. Jagger ,le père Mick ,sexy papy British ,Le Seigneur de Fourchette and Mister Mick.
He comes here every summer. A chartered three-person taxi-plane whisks Jagger from London in under 70 minutes. Here in this quiet backwater of the Loire Valley in Touraine with its woods, caves and vineyards, he can relax with family and friends. He is often seen at the village fete or playing with one of his grandchildren in a local café. He drives around in his little Nisan micra or Opel station wagon. He returns year after year for the quality, ambiance, and the unusual. He even plays cricket for Saumur when he is in Touraine.
