An Overview of a Camping Holiday in Loire
The Loire region is named after the Loire river, the longest in France, which flows from the Massif Central to the Atlantic Ocean. It is famous for its wines, produced along the river banks, where the soil and climate are favourable. This area was once a favourite holiday spot for French royalty and nobility, for whom the elaborate and beautiful castles for which the Loire is known were built.

Tintin fans will appreciate Cheverny, the model for Marlinspike Hall. There are many fine gardens to visit, as well as museums and zoos. Food, Drink and Culture
Touraine, the heart of the Loire, is known as 'the garden of France' for its rich soil. Fruit and vegetables grow here in abundance, including artichokes and asparagus. The Loire is also wine country, producing many famous varieties like Muscadet and Pouilly-Fumé. Fish is an important part of the local cuisine, as you would expect. You will also find goats' cheese, dried pears, and traditionally made sausages and pâtés. Touring a winery or visiting a market is a great way to taste and buy products from the region.
