Central France

This is the France of castles. Those with a more medieval feel in Burgundy around Auxerre, but above all the famous and magnificent châteaux of the Loire, built in the purest Renaissance style. Whether they are world-renowned like Chambord, Chenonceau, or Azay-le-Rideau, or more "hidden gems" like many others, they alone justify a visit to the region.
