Visit Loire Valley - What to Know Before Your Visit The Loire Valley, France

[@randykochel460]

We just trained to Amboise from Paris last month. The Amboise train station is a bit of a walk from the center of the city, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a small public bus waiting at the station. For €.70 each, we were taken near our hotel in style. Nice touch.

Don't forget about le château in Angers. It is one of the oldest ones in the region. It's a fortress style château. It is far less busy and an amazing town.

I've been to 5 different places/regions in France, all of them were gorgeous, but my favorite is definitely the Loire Valley! Quintessential France. And don't just go to chateaux, but tour the towns and villages too, they are beautiful!

We were just there in April, looks like we were there about the same time!!! Loved Chenonceau, Amboise, and Clos de Luce. We also did Chambord and that was fantastic, hope you didn't miss that masterpiece. I would love to go back some day and see the other chateaux. Great video as always!

[@woltersworld]

Exactly. So many great chateaux to see you have to go back :)

[@Jeanetteslagt]

I visited the Loire Valley.... Amazing place, great red champagnoise in Saumur!

[@reze3416]

Lovely area! I just got back after being there for a month! Home base was Angers.

The Loire valley is one of the premier cycling destinations in the world with excellent and safe infrastructure. Self guided bike touring is really easy with a good bike rental shop several blocks from the Tours train station.

I was literally born and raised in Blois! Miss it really bad^^

[@lexm17]

My family is from the Loire Valley so i go every year, in 2 weeks i will be there 🎉

[@leetabatha]

I watch all your videos. I also travel with an 8 year old. Could you include ideas about what to do for the kids? When we were in Rome we did kids gladiator school, it was awesome. Thanks for all you do.

[@carlaportocarrero1550]

Thank you for the recommendations.

[@connorobrien4303]

Seems like an awesome place Mark

[@woltersworld]

It is

[@kathyfaulk710]

Love your videos. Did you ever do one on Turkey?

[@nwc2392]

Wolters, have you visit Colorado, USA?

[@MarKac9090]

offtopic but any video about "Wallis and Futuna" coming? ;) I wonder if you been there too?

[@77picklehead]

We have family there and I have been spending much time in the area since 1996. What you say is true, I agree with all. There are two things to add: 1) you must pay for your toilet in some places, keep coins on you just in case (also, not many free public ones in parks and things because there were problems with something or other and they've been closed permanently) 2) never ever swim in La Loire river, even on a hot sunny day, because the currents are dangerous and people drown. (I've stopped by in Tours to wet my feet and there was lots of broken glass from wine bottles there too). And for those of you who wish to say the town correctly, Amboise is pronounced, Am-Bwaaze. It's not Am-Bwah like he says. Bisous!

Great video, as always! I just visited the Loire Valley in August, and Chenonceau was my favorite of the chateaux. I’m posting my video from there next week and I hope you and Jocelyn will check it out!

[@mr.footage8249]

I see what you are doing. What a coincidence to post this today.

[@Leonhavenify]

And Croatia yesterday ;D

Hmmm.... 🤔

I think he done it on purpose.

[@graphguy]

What camera rig do you use? Use a gimbal?

[@segaranramalingam642]

Hi Mark, do a list of various vegetarian, fish, chicken dishes in Europe. It would help others who don’t eat pork and beef

[@dgquig8369]

Hi Mark, nothing to do with France. But possibly in the future "Driving in America" would possibly be a great video for us travellers. Thanks

[@bugajification]

Would you consider making videos about Turkey?

[@napoleon950]

hehe the LO-A valley

Hi babe,, Would you like sharing some loving time?

[@Anonymous357333]

What is the name of the town you recommend staying in? Blas or Bois please correct me.

[@anneandreasson712]

I think Blois is what you are looking for.

[@SunriseFireberry]

What are your top 5 Loire Valley chateaux?

[@TheMadagenais]

I just came back yesterday from another stay in the Loire valley. The tourist infrastructure really improved in the last 5-10 years for foreign tourists, with audioguides, English-language kid activities like treasure hunts and iPad tours, signage , etc. To answer your question, my favorite chateaus are : 1- Chambord 2- Blois 3- Amboise/Clos-Lucé 4- Angers (for the Apocalypse tapestry) 5- Chenonceau Those are the main ones but there are plenty smaller chateaus that are worth a visit, like Nantes (the farthest west), Cheverny, Chaumont, etc. It is worth doing some research before choosing the ones you visit.

[@RAD6150]

Chateau D'Ussé is nice too - Sleeping Beauty's Castle. And don't forget Villandry! We spent a week in the Loire last month and stayed at a chateau in Membrolle sur Choisille... Cannot wait to go back!

[@donaldhughes6146]

Angers has an amazing and lesser known château. It is one of the oldest in the region.

[@huzjezbuzrezbazraznphez2379]

Visit the Isle of Man

[@szymonzielinski7160]

Mark, I know a place where on 102 square kilometres there are 30 castles and palaces - greater density than in the Loire Valley. The valley of palaces and gardens is waiting for entry to the Unesco list.

[@perthfanny3017]

I just checked it out! It looks beautiful!
