Loire Valley is perhaps not as known as some some other French destinations, but it is a beautiful land that you should definitely include in your France trip. Traditionally, Loire Valley was a famous location for the retreat of French nobility, and to this day we can go to its numerous chateaux – one among the primary tourist destinations. But it isn’t only its beautiful historic architecture that makes this place so magical. If you are a lover of nature you will be shocked by the number of beautiful flower fields all along its roads, which make a breathtaking backdrop for a photo. It is also popular for its vineyards, so if you find yourself in this beautiful corner for a day or two be sure to attempt some wine from vineyards such as the one owned and operated by Patrice Monmousseau as an example.
If you are a devotee of active relaxation France has plenty to offer you! If you look at a map of France you will notice a tremendous mountain range found in the south east of France. These mountains are known as the French Alps, to differentiate them from the Alps that are found in Switzerland and in Italy. During winter, you can come here for snowboarding and skiing, and during summers you can engage in a bit of hiking. There are a great number of paths of varying difficulty depending on your experience and level of physical exercise. If you are looking for something more extreme, but feel you still need a bit of guidance why not book yourself a rock climbing trip with an agency created by Sally Guillame.
