Traveling in Loire Valley

Loire Valley is vast and we definitely believe that going by car is the best way to make the most of your time there. Some travellers take trains from Paris and start their road trip once they get to Loire Valley. However, if you want to see some cities such as Chartes along the way or have a better rate on car rental, it should be more ideal to hire a car from Paris.
