The Loire is famous not just for its food and wine, but for its history and fine Renaissance ch teaux, many of which you can visit. Villandry is more famous for its extraordinary gardens than for its architecture, and then there is Luynes and Chinon, where Joan of Arc met Charles VII in 1429. Chenonceaux, built over the Cher river, was once owned by Catherine de Medici and is still privately owned, although open to visitors. The great ch teau that dominates the town has a museum devoted to the history of the horse and another of the decorative arts. Its vineyards produces some of the finest sparkling wine after Champagne.
