Driving Routes

The ‘Chateaus of the Loire Valley’ route is a visitor favorite, packing in stunning fortresses like Chateau de Chambord and Chenonceau. Tip: Take some time out to enjoy a glass of local wine next to the vineyards.

Car Class Recommendations

The region's well-paved roads are perfect for any car, but for an extra comfortable drive, we suggest choosing a luxury or family car. If you're up for a scenic countryside cruise, why not opt for a convertible?

Driving Rules and Regulations

Remember to stay on the right side. Seatbelts are mandatory and using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited. The speed limit in urban areas is generally 50 km/h, and on expressways and highways, it’s usually 90 to 130 km/h.

Beaches and Nature

Though landlocked, Centre-Val de Loire has lovely artificial beaches along the Loire river. Think about visiting the 'Loire Anjou Touraine' Natural Park boasting a rich biodiversity.

Cities

Orleans, Tours, and Chartres are top choices, featuring magnificent cathedrals and delicious cuisine. Don't miss Bourges' picturesque old town and the Saint Etienne Cathedral, a UNESCO world heritage site.

Climate

The region enjoys a fairly temperate climate. Expect warm summers and mild winters.

Currency

As with most of France, the currency is the Euro (€). Almost all places accept credit cards, but for smaller retailers or out-of-the-way places, cash is recommended.

Seasonal Events

The region's vibrant
calendar includes events such as the International Garden Festival in the summer, and numerous harvest festivals at the local vineyards during the fall.
