Has anyone ever heard of or stayed at a place that is advertised on Trip Advisor called %26quot;Loire Valley Breaks%26quot;? They offer 3 or 4 nights and visits to wineries. Haven%26#39;t been able to find any reviews regarding this place. Any ideas of where else to look? Thank you for any assistance.

I am trying to find out the same thing. Have you found any more info on them, yet?

Most of us are happy to accommodate short breaks in the low and mid seasons. Almost all of us here have knowledge of good vineyards and caves where you%26#39;ll find free tastings. Where especially are you thinking of?

I put Loire Valley Breaks into Google and the first thing up was a B%26amp;B calling themselves Loire Valley Breaks (surprise, surprise). They say they offer accompanied wine tours, chateau tours, bike tours etc. Could that be the people in question? They don%26#39;t give any idea of price (or at least it%26#39;s not obvious).

Correction - after digging around I hit by accident on their rates. Ouch! They hurt! :) I%26#39;d rather stay in a similar standard B%26amp;B for half the price and organise my own itinerary - but it%26#39;s up to you. A lot of B%26amp;B%26#39;s offer tour packs, itineraries etc. for free - except that we don%26#39;t troll along with you. But if that%26#39;s what you%26#39;re after ...
We%26#39;re not in that area, BTW, so I%26#39;ve no personal axe to grind, just an opinion to offer. :)

Have to agree with Basse Cour. It does seem steep, then again, you pays your money and you takes your choice!

We just got back from a fabulous trip at the Loire Valley Breaks B%26amp;B. It is beautiful and clean and the hosts Debbie and Mark could not be nicer. We stayed in Paris and in a Chateau in Amboise, but our favorite place by far was the Loire Valley Breaks B%26amp;B. The B%26amp;B is completely updated with beautiful private rooms and spacious bathrooms. The prices are actually very reasonable when you think about all that is included--in fact we wondered why they weren%26#39;t charging more. We had breakfasts and dinners provided with wine before, during, and after the evening meal (all included). Our transportation all over the Loire Valley was included, plus bike rental, not to mention the amazing relief it is to have Mark take you around. He is fluent in French and English and knows so much about the area. He drove and translated all the amazing sights we saw. We got to customize our trip and pick exactly what we%26#39;d like to see with some very helpful suggestions from Mark. I would recommend this place to anyone. You will see things that no other %26quot;tourist%26quot; will probably ever get to experience. If you are looking for a wonderful, %26quot;off the beaten path%26quot; place - this is it. Debbie is a marvelous chef and the food is wonderful. Had we known it was going to be so great, we would have stayed there for our entire trip.
