This weekend, 19–20 September 2026, is the perfect opportunity to discover—or rediscover—the remarkable heritage of the Loire Valley and Centre-Val de Loire.
European Heritage Days invite visitors to explore the region's rich cultural heritage, from magnificent châteaux and historic monuments to museums, gardens, churches, villages and places that reveal the stories of the people who shaped the region.
The Loire Valley is particularly rich in heritage, and this special weekend offers the chance to look beyond the best-known sights and discover places and events you may not have encountered before.
Whether you're a long-time resident or visiting the region for the weekend, take the opportunity to explore somewhere new and experience the heritage of Centre-Val de Loire.
Bon week-end — and happy heritage hunting!
Part of the “Bon weekend from the Loire” Series
Each Friday, we share a quiet moment from the Loire — a region that invites you to unwind, a beautiful weekend at a time.
