Further information on the country France

Climate
Rising in the Massif Central and flowing out to the Atlantic beyond Nantes, the river Loire is known above all for the magnificent châteaux which line its banks and those of its tributaries between Orléans and Angers. The heart of the château country is Tours with surely the greatest concentration of palatial houses anywhere inthe world, mostly built on the whim of successive monarchs as country retreats. Set in the restful surroundings of gentle green countryside, with extensive woods and meandering rivers, the history and architecture of many of the châteaux can often best be appreciated after dark in one of the evocative ‘Son et Lumière’ shows and if you feel like a break from this rich cultural diet, the Atlantic beaches of the Vendée are under two hours drive away.
