Quotable

“The Loire region is special obviously because of the chateaux everywhere, but also because of the laid-back elegance that you find here. There’s no rushing around like in Paris, here people take their cues from the lazy rivers that slowly flow across the region. It’s calm countryside mixed with beautiful chateaux and gardens.”
