Loire Valley
River barging in the Loire Valley on the River Cher continues an historic tradition: This waterway has carried cargo and passengers for over 2000 years - since pre-Roman times. More recently, this valley conjures up visions of fairytale chateaux set against a background of green fields and rows of poplar trees - and in the case of the Chateau at Chenonceau - even spanning the River Cher itself! 
The Loire Valley and its famous chateaux have preserved a time when western architecture set a new standard of luxury, beauty and scale. Built of "pierre de Loire," the porus local limestone, each of the region's 300-odd chateaux have played a role in French history - serving first as fortresses, then as elegant residences for aristocrats and royalty and then as barracks or even stone quarries after the Revolution. In 2000, UNESCO made the central Loire Valley a World Heritage Site in honor of what is arguably the world's greatest collection of castles.
As a guest cruising in the Loire Valley, you will tour many chateaux - and float right under Chenonceau! In addition, there are pre-historic dwellings, vineyards, and towns showcasing local markets, history and art. Chic and elegant, this area is still popular with Parisians for Le Weekend - but as a barge guest, you will have a whole week to enjoy it!
