If it's French splendour, style and gastronomy you seek, the Loire Valley will exceed your expectations, no matter how great. The Loire Valley is a stunning area of France where castles, moats, turrets, bridges, towers and rivers seem as though they have jumped right out of the pages of some of the world's most famous fairy tales. Amboise is incredibly charming and what brings visitors here is its historical links to the French Royal Family, its markets and a little surprisingly perhaps, its connection with Leonardo de Vinci.
