Rochecorbon

Few towns in the Centre-Loire Valley have a history as closely tied to commerce on the Loire as Rochecorbon. Set on the river’s right bank near Tours, the commune rises into pale tuffeau limestone slopes, where dwellings and wine cellars have long been excavated from the rock. Its vineyards form part of the Vouvray appellation, known for white wines made from Chenin Blanc. Above the settlement stands the Lantern of Rochecorbon, a surviving medieval castle tower that recalls the strategic importance of this Loire-side site.
