Walking in Centre-Val de Loire...near Charnizay

Our region offers such a wonderfully diverse range of walking opportunities that you could spend years here without sampling them all. From countryside hikes to city,town and village walks you will find them all here. These photographs are of the 'Etang du Bois Guenand' which you pass along on a walk near the Southern Touraine village of Charnizay.

Centre - Val de Loire...more than just chateaux...there is 'La Brenne'

Centre - Val de Loire really has something for everyone...for nature lovers it has the vast 166,000 hectares site of bio-diversity that is the 'La Brenne'...the 'land of a thousand lakes' (well actually more)  that sits in the south of the region in the department of Indre'.

Whether you are a bird-watcher, a rambler, a cyclist, or just want to relax by the waters edge - it has it all.

Walking in the Loire Valley...

One of the great things about the Centre-Val de Loire region, like most of France, is the diversity of its countryside. This makes for some great walking experiences, you can start of at the centre of a picturesque village walk through fields of wild flowers in open countryside and on to forest lanes. The region also has great rivers in the Loire and its tributaries giving the walker a different perspective with valleys and riverbanks rich in flora and fauna. Another popular ramble is among the vines of one of the many vintners where there are opportunities to learn about as well as taste the delightful wines of the region.
