Among the regions of France, Centre-Loire Valley stands out for its concentration of Renaissance royal residences along the Loire River. The area around Blois and Chambord lies in a broad river plain of woods, farmland and vineyards, while the Loire remains the region’s defining waterway. Château de Chambord, commissioned by King Francis I in the 16th century, is renowned for its vast scale and distinctive French Renaissance design. Blois, once a seat of the French court, adds another important royal chapter. Part of the Loire Valley is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
