A luxury castle vacation awaits you in France's Loire Valley Certainly the main attractions of the Loire are romance, history and architecture. The renaissance castles built by Francois I and Charles VIII, Catherine de Medici and other royals during the hundred years that the French court relocated from Paris give the Loire its distinctive storybook charm. Like the river Loire, this vast region runs through the heart of French life. It is now classed as part of the world heritage of mankind by Unesco (from Chalonnes-sur-Loire to Sully-sur-Loire). The lush Loire valley is supremely regal. Its sophisticated cities, luxuriant landscape and magnificent food and wine add up to a bourgeois paradise. Overindulgence is no sin in this rich region. Foppish kings, surly queens, evil princesses and scheming mistresses and aristocrats sculpted a riverbed valley into an enchanting fairytale landscape like no other place in Europe or for that matter the world. Unlike the chateaux of the Loire Valley, the Loire Valley wines are a perennial secret. Some of France’s best winemaking occurs here although few Americans are aware of it. Even many French are unaware of some of the wonders now being produced in the Loire. But wine-bar and wine- shop owners and sommeliers, and all the wine press from Paris, Tokyo, Brussels and London in the know spend their holidays visiting the Val de Loire. The Loire Valley is the location of Sir Mick Jagger's favourite second residence a 16th century chateau near Amboise called La Fourchette. In London he may be affectionately known as the lead singer of Strolling Bones but in France is known as Mick de Fourchette, sexy papy British ,Le Seigneur de Fourchette ,le pape du rock ,Dr. Jagger ,le père Mick and Mister Mick. He comes here every summer. In under 70 minutes he is whisked from London in a chartered three-person taxi-plane. Here in this quiet backwater of the Loire Valley in Touraine with its woods, caves and vineyards, he can relax with friends and family. He is often seen at the village fete or playing with one of his grandchildren in a local café. He drives around in his Opel station wagon or little Nisan micra. He returns year after year for the quality, ambiance, and the unusual. He even plays cricket for Saumur when he is in Touraine.
