The good news is that wherever you are, the Loire Valley is never far away.  
With its excellent transport links, the Loire Valley is easily accessible by all means of transport, whether by car, train or even bicycle!  From Paris, it’s barely an hour by train.  

THE LOIRE VALLEY: CLOSE AND ACCESSIBLE 

From Paris, it’s child’s play! To get to Tours, for example, it will only take you one hour by TGV and one hour by train (Rémi – TER) to Orléans.  Once you get there, a train line runs along the Loire from Orléans to Tours and beyond, allowing you to discover the Loire Valley.   
Yet another good reason to come and spend a few days here.
