- Holiday in the Loire Valley
ShareDeep in the Loire Valley, only 20 minutes from the beautiful and famous centre of Saumur is the small community of Doué La Fontaine. It is the national centre for rose growing in France and the largest such area for Europe- seven million roses can't be wrong.
Just outside the town is our tranquil Loire chambres d'hote.
The Loire is not only a prime wine producing area but also an excellent holiday location for cycling, horse riding, hiking/pigrimage routes and golfing. You are also within easy reach of the cities of Tours and Angers and close to ""must see"" historic Chinon, Fontevraud and the famous Loire chateaux.
The Valley is justly world famous for a very good reason--it includes history, culture, fine cities, vineyards, friendly people and  verdant countryside.
