Getaway to the Loire Valley this year. In particular, the East Anjou region of the Loire.

It's probably France's best-kept secret! There's so much to see and do here that two weeks just isn't enough! That's why so many visitors just keep on coming back! From fairytale chateaux to river cruises. From hot air balloon rides to horse rides in the forests. The vineyards beckon, the mighty Loire challenges you! What a decision! It's all here in the Eastern Anjou region of department 49, Maine et Loire!

Quiet country lanes abound for the simple pleasures in life - a stroll before lunch, deer spotting or bird watching. This area of the Loire is a nature-lover's paradise. In the air or on the ground, it's unspoilt, raw and exciting. Meadows still exist, and leafy glades in the forest, where a picnic just seems the right thing to do. Cheeses and bread from the market, wine from just along the lane, and the scene is set!

You'll find many of the properties are open all year round, offering a different holiday experience. Quieter lanes (if that's possible in these sleepy reaches), uncrowded markets, and the chance to really live 'la vie française'!

At loire-getaways.com there's no middle man, there's no confusion. You deal directly with the people who matter - your holiday hosts!
