Charlotte Field is
one of our agents
in Centre-Val de
Loire?
The Eure-et-Loire
department is historically an
agricultural area but recently has
been making a name for itself as
a national leader in renewable
energy. It is also home to one of
the prettiest cathedrals in the
country in Chartres. The two
spires can be seen from miles
around, and pretty bridges crisscross
the river; you should also
check out the colourful market in
the town centre.
That leaves two departments
to tell you about. Indre is
predominantly rural, with plenty
of agricultural land and forests
- you can see from the chart
above that property prices here
are the lowest in the region and
they really do offer wonderful
value for money. The Château de
Bouges is a lovely 18th century
house with delightful gardens
that are open to the public, and
the old town in Châteauroux
holds some terrific concerts and
festivals throughout the year.
Finally, Loir-et-Cher is a
flourishing department where
you will, once again, find glorious
châteaux and historic towns. The
best of these may well be Blois,
which straddles the river Loire
and has a glorious Renaissance
château in the heart of the town.
My top tip is to park at the top,
then take a horse drawn carriage
to explore the town, as it was
built on a pair of steep hills -
great views over the countryside
but tough on the legs on a hot
summer's day!
Pretty châteaux, rolling
vineyards, riverside villages,
colourful markets - we really do
have something for everyone.
Come see for yourself!
