Discover Loir-et-cher
Situated in the heart of the Loire Valley, Loir-et-Cher is a department that combines historic prestige, soothing natural landscapes and a gentle way of life. From majestic châteaux to picturesque villages, deep forests to tranquil riverbanks, it invites you on a journey through culture, nature and local produce, just a stone's throw from Paris.
A land of châteaux and exceptional heritage
The Loir-et-Cher is one of the jewels of the Val de Loire, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its emblems include
- Château de Chambord, a Renaissance masterpiece
- Château de Cheverny, a model of classical balance
- Château de Blois, an open-air history book
- Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire, famous for its International Garden Festival
But beyond these icons, the département is full of manor houses, churches, abbeys and historic villages to explore.
A generous and accessible natural environment
Between the Loir valley, the Cher river and the forests of Sologne, the Loir-et-Cher is an ideal destination for nature lovers and those who enjoy leisure activities.
- Cycling on the Loire à Vélo itineraries
- Hiking in Sologne, a land of forests, ponds and morning mist
- Wildlife watching, fishing, canoeing, horse riding...
It's a land of green tourism, slow tourism and stays in gîtes or bed & breakfasts in the countryside.
Towns and villages full of charm
The department's capital, Blois, with its sloping historic centre, château, gardens and festivals, is a real charmer. Other local gems:
- Vendôme, a medieval town on the banks of the River Loir
- Montoire-sur-le-Loir, Lavardin and Troo, typical villages with narrow streets full of flowers
- Romorantin-Lanthenay, gateway to Sologne
These places combine architectural heritage, natural surroundings and a vibrant local life.
Local gastronomy between land and river
The terroir of the Loir-et-Cher blends products from the Loire and Sologne specialities:
- AOC wines (Cheverny, Touraine, Cour-Cheverny)
- Goat's cheese, river fish, game, tarts Tatin, rillettes, mushrooms
- Locally-picked honey, hazelnuts and cherries
Farmers' markets, traditional restaurants and wineries promote authentic, accessible gastronomy.
A peaceful way of life just two hours from Paris
Thanks to its central location and easy transport links (A10, TGV stations at Vendôme and Blois), the Loir-et-Cher is an accessible destination for a weekend in the countryside, a cultural holiday, or a rural lifestyle project, without having to do without essential services.
