The landscapes of Touraine are often celebrated for their châteaux and vineyards, but sometimes it is the simplest rural scenes that linger longest in the memory.
It's a reminder that the Loire Valley is as much about its peaceful countryside as its famous landmarks. As another week draws to a close, this quiet corner of Touraine offers the perfect wish for a relaxing weekend.
Sunflowers have become an increasingly familiar sight across Touraine. While they add spectacular colour to the summer landscape, they are grown primarily for their seeds, which are pressed to produce sunflower oil. By late summer, the bright yellow heads will have turned to follow the sun no more, their seeds ripening for harvest.
