More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You round the bend and the world opens into parallel lines of vines, gravel under the tiny 2CV wheels and the Loire wind—lighter here—pushing a perfume of crushed leaves and fermenting grape skins. A cultured chauffeur, quick with local anecdotes, steers between stone châteaux and hedged plots while you feel the old convertible breathe around you.
