The Loire Canal & Briare Canal
With some of the most beautiful countryside and villages to see in France, the Loire Valley provides a truly peaceful haven from everyday life. Marvel at the quiet as you cruise through majestic forests abundant in fauna and flora, ancient villages perched high on rugged rocks, and the occasional Medieval town. This region is famed for chateaux, vineyards and cheese.
