The erosion of the river has transformed the scenery here over and over again, so it is impossible to see the same scenery twice here. The castles along the coast are set off by the Loire River.

In order to facilitate sightseeing, starting points have been set up on the main stream and tributaries of the Loire River. In Roshko, Le Saint Martin de Tours is the starting point. The cruise ship sailed on the tributary Cher River, passing through the most beautiful castle of the Loire River and passing under its arch bridge.

For people who are curious or obsessed with this, some associations, such as River House in Chinon, will lead you to relive the traditional water transportation: board the inland river gondola, so that you can relive the famous shipping industry of the Loire River in the past, reappear significant historical events, and reappear the scene of fishing for western herring with salt. Visitors can rent a very modern kayak and swim on the Loire River or the Wiener River. Tasting delicious food in Tours is undoubtedly a dream trip. Just like the sumptuous banquet described in Gargantua et Pantagruel written by rabelais, a famous French literary master.

The climate and topography make this land in Tours rich and fertile. The vegetable gardens, orchards and farms here provide perfect ingredients for cooking. In this respect, many masters are also indispensable: grape growers (with the latest quality inspection statistics of grape planting origin names), cooked meat producers (making the famous Toure cooked meat sauce), dairy producers (with the "quality inspection origin names" of Sainte Maure de Touraine), and pastry makers (making Toure's pralines). In order to keep many tastes and flavors from being lost, they have always continued the centuries-old production process. Of course, we can't forget many chefs who rely on their skills day after day to make the precious food heritage spread to this day.

in terms of cultivated area and product quality, the Val de Loire is a part of French grape-growing areas. The wine in Loire Valley is famous for its soft taste, which can be accompanied with various delicacies. God has blessed this land, and several Tours grape plantations have the names of quality inspection places of origin in Val de Loire. When it comes to red wines from Saint Gneki, Tours and Chinon, the first choice should be Boolean Gneki red wine. If it is accompanied by rich cooked meat products or Géline's barbecue, it is absolutely amazing. When it comes to white wine, if it is accompanied by snapper back or goat cheese platter, Vouvray or Monlouis white wine should be selected, which has a mellow taste.

In order to make your exploration trip more pleasant, charming scenery will be presented to you along the vineyard tour route of the Loire River. In this wonderful way, you can observe all kinds of trends in the vineyard, appreciate the unique geographical features of Tours-travertine caves, and finally you will see the high-quality soil for growing grapes with your own eyes. Some limestone caves that were once residential houses (which have become caves due to the urban changes of many centuries, but at that time they were urbanized castles with classical characteristics) have gradually evolved into underground wine cellars, and the temperature is almost constant at 13 degrees Celsius all year round, making them the most ideal underground wine cellars in wine producing areas.
