Euro Trip 2012: Vallée de la Loire, France

1 day road trip to Loire Valley (Vallée de la Loire)

Nestled amidst lush carpet green fields and hammocks, Loire valley is referred to as the Cradle of the French Language, and the Garden of France due to the abundance of vineyards, fruit orchards (such as cherries), and artichoke and asparagus fields, which line the banks of the river.Notable for its historic towns, architecture and wines, the valley has been inhabited since the Middle Palaeolithic period. In 2000, UNESCO added the central part of the Loire River valley to its list of World Heritage Sites.
