Local Area Information

La Blézinière is 30 miles north of the meandering Loire; the valley is a patchwork of vinyards amid a peaceful wilderness of natural forests. The area is famous for the hundreds of fairy-tale châteaux if offers for the visitor to explore - dozens are open to the public, some opening up their gardens in the summer for concerts and fireworks.

The Loire earns its name, "The Garden of France", from its market gardens that produce lush vegetables in the mild climate. It is also home to the famous white wines, Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre, and the sparkling white Vouvray.

A pleasantly balanced and richly diverse region of France, the area surrounding La Blézinière quite simply has it all: rivered landscapes, medieval villages, unusual land formations, magical châteaux, succulent cuisine, brilliant wines and an endless labyrinth of quaint country roads.
