They say that France is Frenchest along its longest river. The world famous historical monuments in the Loire Valley (including over 600 castles) are found in a surprisingly unspoiled wooded landscape. Inside the castles it is easy to imagine the bawdy Renaissance festivals that were once held by their royal owners. The most important castles are in Chambord, Azayle-Rideau, Chenonceau, Blois and Amboise. The old town of Bourges featuring St. Stephan’s Cathedral and the Hôtel Jacques-Coeur is worth a detour, as is the Château de Chinon. The Loire Valley is known as the "Garden of France". The Sologne contains over 1.2 million acres of lakes and woodlands. The Brenne National Park to the south is inhabited by many threatened species of plants and animals.
