The Centre Region of France is sometimes also known as the Loire Valley, and it is one of the regions when you will find the most beautiful castles in France.

The most recognizable and most popular French castles are located here, on the Loire Valley. For example the royal Chateau de Chambord is well known worldwide, or the Chateau de Blois is well known for its spiral staircase.

But probably France’s most popular château is also found here, on the Loire Valley - the Chateau de Chenonceau.
