Flowing for over 1000km from its trickling source in the Massif Central west towards the Atlantic Ocean, the regal Loire is often dubbed one of the last fleuves sauvages (wild rivers) in France. It's a fickle and unruly body of water that frequently breaks its banks and floods the flat pastureland on either side of the river. For centuries before the Industrial Revolu- tion, this huge waterway was one of France's great commercial highways, but these days most of the river traffic has long since sailed into the sunset, and the freight barges and steamers that once plied the waters have been replaced by occasional canoes and flat- bottomed futreaux (barges). In centuries past, the Loire River was a key strategic area, one step removed from the French capital and poised on the crucial frontier between northern and southern France. Through- out the centuries kings, queens, dukes and nobles established their feudal strongholds and country seats along the Loire, and the valley is littered with some of the most extravagant architecture this side of Versailles. From sky-topping turrets and glittering banquet halls to slate-crowned cupolas, lavish chapels and crenellated towers, the hundreds of châteaux dotted around the Loire Valley provide a comprehensive cross-section of the changing ar- chitectural tastes over 1000 years of French high society. The result is an astonishingly rich collection of architectural treasures, ranging from the medieval fortresses of Chinon, Angers and Loches through to the extravagant pleasure palaces of Azay-le-Rideau, Chenonceau and Chambord. If it's aristocratic pomp and architectural splendour you're looking for, the Loire Valley is a place to linger. beautiful landscape at sunset in Azay le Rideau. THE CASTLE AND GARDENS OF VILLANDRY.
