Indre-et-Loire lies in the very heart of the Loire Valley, home to fairy-tale châteaux, rolling vineyards, and the essence of French Renaissance elegance. It’s a department that blends sophistication with gentle countryside living.

​

Tours, the capital, is a lively city of students, wine bars, and cultural events. Its old town is full of half-timbered houses and medieval charm. Amboise, Chinon, Langeais, and Loches are famed for their châteaux and royal connections, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with vineyard villages and riverbanks.

​

Top sites include Château de Chenonceau, Château de Villandry, and the Vouvray and Chinon wine regions. The Loire à Vélo cycle trail draws visitors from all over, while the gastronomy, particularly rillettes and goat cheese, delights.

​

Properties range from elegant townhouses, charming cottages, and riverside homes, to historic mansions and converted farms. Indre-et-Loire is ideal for anyone seeking culture, nature, and the romance of the Loire Valley.
