10. Chenonceau
The Château de Chenonceau is a French château near the small village of Chenonceaux, in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France. The château was built on the site of an old mill on the River Cher, sometime before its first mention in writing in the 11th century. It was designed by the French Renaissance architect Philibert de l'Orme.
9. Loire a Velo
A brand new network of cycle-paths and cycle routes on minor roads now makes cycling along the River Loire even more enjoyable -- and safer -- than it was before.
8. Chartres cathedral
Chartres Cathedral is a medieval Roman Rite Catholic cathedral located in Chartres, about 80 kilometres southwest of Paris. It is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The current cathedral, mostly constructed between 1194 and 1250, is the last of at least five which have occupied the site since the town became a bishopric in the 4th century.
7. Food markets
Every town has its lively, traditional weekly market where you can stock up on picnic provisions and local specialities.
6. Canoe and kayak trips
The best way to get to know the River Loire is by boat, and you can rent canoes and kayaks all over the region.
5. Montsoreau and Candes-St-Martin
Candes-Saint-Martin is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department in central France. It overlooks the confluence of the Vienne and Loire rivers from a steep hill on the left bank of the Loire, and marks the boundary between the modern departments of Indre-et-Loire to the east, and Maine-et-Loire to the West.
4. Villandry gardens
The lands where an ancient fortress once stood were known as Colombier until the 17th century. Acquired in the early 16th century by Jean Le Breton, France's Controller-General for War under King Francis I, a new château was constructed around the original 14th-century keep where King Philip II of France once met Richard I of England to discuss peace. It is also known for its beautiful gardens.
3. Au Cabernet d'Anjou
This former Loire mariners' bar enjoys a sun-flooded terrace overlooking one of the prettiest stretches of the river.
2. Chateaudun
Looming over the river on its clifftop height, little-visited Chateaudun is an eerily Gothic chateau. Châteaudun is located about 45 km northwest of Orléans, and about 50 km south-southwest of Chartres, on the river Loir, a tributary of the Sarthe.
1. Chateau de Blois
The Royal Château de Blois is located in the Loir-et-Cher département in the Loire Valley, in France, in the center of the city of Blois. The residence of several French kings, it is also the place where Joan of Arc went in 1429 to be blessed by the Archbishop of Reims before departing with her army to drive the English from Orléans. Built in the middle of the town that it effectively controlled, the château of Blois comprises several buildings constructed from the 13th to the 17th century around the main courtyard.

Places to see in ( Angers - France ) Collegiale Saint Martin
The Saint-Martin church, located in the historic center of Angers , is one of the best preserved Carolingian monuments in France and a testimony of fifteen centuries of architectural evolution. His choir is a very fine example of the Gothic Angevin style .
Archaeological excavations conducted in xx th century by Canon Pinier and GH Forsyth and more recently by county archaeologists have uncovered the foundations of the first churches, dated respectively V th , VI th , VII th centuries. The first building, probably built to accommodate the burial of a bishop of the city, was indeed quickly enlarged in the following centuries.
The third church is more ambitious than the previous ones. Lying several meters, it has a cruciform plan thanks to its overflowing transept, each arm extended by an apse. Archaeologists attribute the reconstruction at the Wolf bishop , who died in the last third of the vii th century
The church was again rebuilt in the x th century, with the particularity of having four large arches alternating tufa stone and brick to frame the crossing. In the following century, it was the Count of Anjou Foulques Nerra who marked the building with its imprint. With his wife Hildegard, they instituted at Saint-Martin 13 canons to serve, making the church a collegiate. In addition, the count commissioned works, especially at the cross of the transept where was installed a dome, always visible.
By the middle of the xii th century Carolingian choir of college is transformed in the Gothic style and expanded in a second campaign work. A second span and an apse have lengthened the building in a Gothic style called Angevin or Plantagenet, which is characterized by the convex appearance of its vaults.
The old chapel of the Middle Ages was then enlarged at the beginning of the xiii th century. Called Chapel of Angels because of its remarkable decor, its transformation marked the end of the Gothic reconstruction of the building. In the chapel, remains of a rich original painted decoration remain. At the beginning of the last century, the Massacre des Innocents and the Adoration of the Magi were still read ; unfortunately only the Virgin and the Child Jesus are still discerning. The chapel also has a rich collection of capitals well highlighted by current lighting.
Following the French Revolution, the chapter of canons was suppressed. After several months of abandonment, the church served as warehouse at the town hall for confiscated books, before being sold to individuals. The building was used as a store of firewood and warehouse for the tobacco industry. This change of use was accompanied by a rapid deterioration of the church, who lives disappear xix th century the roof of the nave, the upper floor of the tower, the remains of the cloister and part of the facade. Buildings were then built in front of the building and in the former nave.
