Where love stories begin
The Loire Valley has always been a land of romance. Why not begin your romantic escape among the châteaux, following in the footsteps of one of the most iconic love stories? Head to the Château de l’Islette, a true romantic hideaway where Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin lived a passionate and inspiring romance. Far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, it was here that they created some of their most renowed works.
Continue your romantic stroll at the Château de Cheverny, where you’ll find the poetic Garden of Love. You can discover the delicate sculptures of Swedish artist Gudmar Olovson — true tribute to love, couples and intimacy.
Finally, head to the fairytale Château d’Ussé, said to have inspired the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Its enchanting atmosphere is the perfect way to end your romantic getaway.
