The Loire Valley

The Eur-Am Center is located in the heart of France's beloved Loire Valley. Known everywhere for its wine, natural beauty, and the many chateaux dotting its rolling landscape and lining its mighty rivers, the Loire Valley has become France's most desired summer travel destination. Blessed with a mild climate, mouth-watering cuisine, adored villages, and a transportation infrastructure that allows easy train travel to Paris. The Loire Valley has long boasted an almost unparalleled quality of life.

The arts and culture always loom large in the area's strategy of economic development and social integration. Other historically noted regions of Europe have sought mass tourism as a developmental stimulus, the Loire Valley has made a concerted effort to highlight a rich calendar of village celebrations, music festivals, and art exhibitions. Accordingly, one finds in the Loire Valley a sophisticated and friendly character even in smaller towns and villages, where outdoor cinema, classical music, and a wine’s premier are enchanting moments in a town’s life and on its visitor’s calendars.

Hiking, cycling, wine circuits, architectural tours, and a plethora of quietly known about but much enjoyed regional restaurants top the agenda of this area’s loyal visitors and indigenous citizens.
