An exclusive Loire Valley travel experience

Written by Terry Micolet
Sunday, 06 April 2008
With all the idyllic regions of France to choose from, the French kings decided to build their royal castles in the Touraine. And for those who want to know why, a young French couple have found a special way of sharing the secret. Karine was born and grew up in the Touraine. For her husband Thierry, it was love at first sight, when the magic of the region brought them together in the same way it once captured the hearts of royalty. That is why they have launched RiverLoire , a travel venture without precedent, to provide discerning visitors with a “king’s-eye” view of this internationally-recognized jewel in the crown of French tourism which was recently declared an official world heritage site by UNESCO. The hundred-kilometer stretch of France’s longest river, after its abrupt left turn at Orleans to head West to the sea at Nantes, is known as the Loire Valley, or, with greater majesty, as the Valley of the Kings. Karine and Thierry have decided, therefore, to provide a royal welcome worthy of any monarch. “Many of today’s travelers merely scratch the surface of this wonderful region and fail to discover what’s hidden beneath”, says Karine. Then, with all the superlatives that only home-grown pride can muster, she talks about the Loire Valley castles the public often see and the many they don’t. Equally enthusiastic, husband Thierry describes architectural masterpieces from the XVth and XVIth centuries – would you believe even the Xth century – which remain a mystery if you don’t know where to look; or simply closed, if you don’t know where the keys are hidden. As further bonus, there are the restaurants which remain the best-kept secrets of the locals for reasons not difficult to understand when you discover genuine French cooking at its best that they want to keep for themselves. After four years living in Britain, Karine and Thierry are ideally placed to know what U.K. travelers are looking for, and since their return to France, and their beloved Loire Valley, have taken the time to put together a travel experience to meet the most demanding wish-list, based on tradition, authenticity and quality. Nor is language a barrier to accessing a world the regular tourist rarely discovers, since Karine and Thierry ensure that the indepth knowledge of their region is transformed into a complete understanding of all it has to offer with the aid of bilingual guides when necessary. Their aim, nonetheless, is that the exclusive travel experience offered by RiverLoire will speak for itself. A sample stay: • A four-day weekend discovery of the Loire Valley based on traditional hospitality and exclusivity; with private visits to castles and local wineries; a cruise along the river Cher aboard an authentic copy of an old-style sailing boat; and an exhilarating helicopter ride for a bird’s eye view of both legendary and lesser-known attractions which have made the Touraine famous throughout history. Other possibilities: • Weekend discovery of the Loire by bicycle • Weekend for camera buffs with a professional photographer as guide • Specially designed weekend planned as the ultimate family outing • The true nature of the Loire Valley through discovery of its wild life • Gourmet weekend devoted to fine food and wines • Weekend of total escape and relaxation • The Impossible Romantic Weekend for those in love Karine and Thierry have painstakingly selected where best to go and how best to get the most out of the experience by choosing the most original itineraries, ones often reserved exclusively to RiverLoire , and designed to satisfy the most demanding of their VIP clients.
