The chateau here is the home of Sleeping Beauty (they say!) and there is a great exhibition about her. And of course it's very near the Loire so lovely riverside drives are possible.

Another chateau town - right on the Loire. Also the home of Clos Luce where Leonardo da Vinci spent his last years - there's a fabulous museum of some of his inventions.

Benais has the best wines of the Bourgueil appellation and we think that the best of all are those of Pierre-Jacques Druet. He certainly does the best tastings. Ask P and P for details.

Food Scene
Although we've marked it 'restaurants' Chinon is a lovely very old town with a long history. Joan of Arc famously 'recognised' the Dauphin here. A lovely town square and an interesting old castle.
