Travel with your taste

Travel with your taste buds to Touraine, Loire Valley The lure of the Loire – chateaus, gateaus and tasty treats – it’s an irresistible combination says Janine Marsh… Some things are made for each other. Peaches and Cream. Cheese and wine. Chateaus and gateaus (castles and cakes). Which got me thinking about the best places in the UNESCO listed Loire Valley where you can feast like royalty - restaurants in castles or in the shadow of castles. Chefs who make dishes you’ll remember long after you’ve tasted them. Famous local wines, vegetables grown in castle gardens, historic dining rooms, local specialities and irresistible sweet treats.
