| Location |
The village has a variety of shops and several restaurants including one particularly good one. Orleans, minutes away by car, has everything and more, and evidence of its link with the Maid of Orleans is everywhere. It is also the centre for the wine produced in the vineyards surrounding the city and there are several places where you can taste. The pleasures of Paris are little more than an hour from here. There are three golf courses within a radius of 15 kms, one at Ferté St Aubin, another is the Baron Bic course at Les Bordes 25 kms away. You can take balloon flights and see some of the countryside and hidden châteaux from the air, or hire canoe/kayaks, fish and even swim in the river. The massive Château de Chambord is 25 kms from here, worth seeing for its awesome size alone. The Cheverny vineyards are to the south of Chambord and the château has some magnificent paintings and a hunting museum. Further south still is Valençay and its splendid formal gardens and another chance to taste the wine at local vineyards. The château at Blois was in many ways a forerunner of Versailles and the old part of the town itself is charming. Meung-sur-Loire, 6 kms, and Beaugency, 10 kms, are two attractive, typical villages on the banks of the Loire, each with their own château, and there are others deep in the Orleans forest. |
