Centre-Val de Loire lists 68 wateside campsites, with clear fluvial dominance: 40 establishments are installed on river banks, supported by Loire itself, crossing the region east to west, as well as its tributaries, Cher, Indre, Vienne or Loir.
The region also offers 14 lake-bank campsites and 11 pond-bank campsites, particularly in Sologne, a forest and water body territory at Loiret, Loir-et-Cher and Cher border, historically focused on hunting and pond fishing.
Without maritime coast, Centre-Val de Loire relies entirely on its river network, foremost Loire, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site over much of its course through the region, between Renaissance castles and renowned vineyards. Touraine and Sancerre vineyards, at the region's gates, extend this wine identity linked to royal river valley.
Centre-Val de Loire is home to Loire Valley, UNESCO World Heritage classified, with its great Renaissance castles: Chambord, the vastest among them, Chenonceau, spanning Cher, or Amboise and Blois, witnesses of sixteenth-century French royal history.
The region also includes Chartres Cathedral, a Gothic art masterpiece also UNESCO World Heritage classified, as well as Sologne, a forest, pond and heath region, renowned for preserved nature, traditional hunting and outdoor activities.
Loire banks, with cycling paths arranged along the river, like Loire by Bike, allow linking these major sites while lining one of Europe's last great wild rivers, known for sand banks and seasonal landscape changes. Tours town, Loire Valley gateway, and Beauval Zoo, among France's most-visited, complete major regional tourist destinations.
