Located just south of Paris in the center of the country, Center-Val de Loire is made up mostly of farmland and vineyards, so named because the majority of its territory includes the picturesque valley through which the Loire River runs. In addition to its peaceful and beautiful countryside, the region boasts many impressive historic cities, full of beautiful cathedrals, impregnable castles and charming old buildings. The landscape spread along the banks of the Loire River is particularly delightful, and throughout it visitors can find a group of lavish gardens that... It's nice to walk around on sunny days.
