IN THE HEART OF THE CHATEAUX COUNTRY,
Tours is 60 mns from Paris by TGV train and it is the capital city of Touraine where we live is 20 miles from our place (direct D943 road on the map).
Cultural life and attractions guaranteed.
It is located between the Cher and the Loire rivers with… the » Châteaux de la Loire ».
Chenonceaux and Amboise for example are only half an hour‘s drive from our place. The most famous ones like Chambord, Villandry, Blois are an hour's drive away :
https://www.chateaux-de-la-loire.fr/chateaux_of_the_loire.htm
If you like cycling this is ideally easy with a great biking trail along the Cher and of course along the Loire valley called the "Loire à vélo" route, very well signposted and with lots of castles on the way : https://www.loirebybike.co.uk/?_ga=2.167713149.233441932.1714848825-1903511202.1714848825
Or enjoy cycling along the Indre to Loches starting from here.
You coud also go
- nature spotting : we are close to la Brenne in Indre, (its wildlife natural park is 40 miles south from here)
- wine-tasting : The area is famous for it wine and food, thus you can follow the wine routes, -tasting as you go-, or just visit the wine caves along the Loire river.
The Loire valley is one the best wine growing areas stretching from Sancerre in the east through Vouvray Chinon, Bourgueil and Saumur around Tours to Angers.
- or just lazying on the terrace or in the hammoc
and of course ...
- dining out : there are lots of good quality/price restaurants in Loches or around in really picturesque villages.
. Beauval Park zoo is another family hit.
https://www.zoobeauval.com/.
. Futuroscope attraction park is within 1H15 mns’ drive to Poitiers:
https://en.futuroscope.com
. There is also a famous international garden festival at Chaumont castle on the Loire, taking place every year with great creative gardens :
http://www.domaine-chaumont.fr/en/international-garden-festival
. The mini-châteaux are small scale models of the major châteaux close to Amboise.
. There are lots of old market towns, pretty villages and beautiful old abbeys and churches full of history, all within a short drive around.
Montrésor classified among les Plus Beaux Village de France with light effects at the Nuits solaires, is located halfway between Loches and Beauval zoo.
. We are also very close to Amboise and Le Clos Lucé (Leonard de Vinci's last dwelling with his inventions presented in a great museum indoors and outdoors).
. The Chartreuse du Liget a monastique complex at the other end of the forest is worth the visit.
Canoeing on the Cher up to Chenonceaux castle is a unique experience too and 20 mn by car.
Chédigny is our closest picturesque village, very famous for its rose festival and all its local artists. So it is always worth visiting...only 4 kms away :
http://www.chedigny.fr
There is also a lake in Chemillé, only 15km north from Loches. A beach with café, restaurants too.
Our village, Chambourg sur Indre, with about 1,000 inhabitants. is only 7 kms to the market town of Loches :
www.loches-valdeloire.com
It is an idyllic rural spot for whatever your interests are : hiking in Loches widespread national forest, directly from our village or cycling.
Cultural and historical sightseeing at hand, first in Loches (pop 7,000), is a small medieval and Renaissance town with its château, its museums and its keep and thus, very picturesque and pleasant for strolling around.
Loches has lots of restaurants, cafés and shops that a large town offers, is well supplied with supermarkets, an excellent open market (on Wednesday and Saturday mornings).
Natureo in Loches is a great outdoor natural pool and indoor swimming pool :

We started swapping homes with the boys in 1992
We are a family of 2 adults and 2 adult children that are now independent in their vacation but may visit us a short time. If so we will ask you whether you agree with it.
I'm Swiss-French and Philippe is from Blois originally.
We started swapping homes with the boys in 1992! They have become globetrotters, no wonder and now both work in Switzerland.
That's why we love traveling and cultural exchanges too.
We have really enjoyed all our exchange experiences a lot!
We have always done simultaneous home swaps and sometimes were able to meet our exchange host family and become friends too... These are amazing times and unforgettable when we can keep in touch and meet again,
Then we would love to have a simultaneous home exchange in summertime or later at a convenient time for you.
We are flexible as I teach languages and my husband is retired, the dates would most likely be during school holidays (starting in July until end of September, and at Halloween or Christmas)
We love outdoor activities : I'm a coach in nordic walking in the forest close to our house, and we both enjoy hiking and cycling.
Looking forward to exchanging with you
Best wishes
Eva and Philippe
