The 42 castles of the Loire Valley are fabulous edifices, each more beautiful than the last, which is why the Loire Valley holds an exceptional place on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Built or redesigned during the French Renaissance, most of the castles of the Loire were inspired by medieval sources whose major architectural features they retain. The stunning art and beauty of each castle will take your breath away.
The most well-known, most remarkable and not-to-be-missed examples are:
Château d'Amboise Château d'Azay-le-Rideau Château de Blois Château de Chambord Château de Châteaudun Château de Cheverny Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire
