Tuesday for towns in the Loire Valley - Loches

We have probably written about and taken more photographs of Loches than any other town in the Loire Valley so you will not be surprised to hear that it is in fact our favourite. This medieval citadel town has everything, a colourfully rich history, a unique heritage plus all the amenities of a modern bustling town.

 

Its public spaces are a joy and can be appreciated all the year round. 

The town has something for everyone,history buffs,painters ramblers and its Saturday and Wednesday markets are among the best in the region.

Loches is probably also the most popular destination for guests at our holiday accommodation here in Southern Touraine.

The properties:

Old Walnut Mill

The 'Old Walnut Mill' is a delightful 19th century 2 bedroom cottage in the village of Barrou in Indre-et-Loire, Centre-Val de Loire France. The village sits on the banks of the river Creuse surrounded by rolling countryside. It has welcomed guests from around the world who have enjoyed the ‘French village experience’. In 2016 we had the pleasure of receiving gifted painters who enjoyed the many opportunities to capture images of this very pretty part of France. The house is within walking distance of the village amenities, the restaurant, boulangerie, butcher and convenience store.
