We made the mistake that thinking Le Loir was La Loire. As it happens that was a happy error for us. The valley of Le Loir is quiet, rural, populated by lovely villages and people- France at its best. The more famous river, we visited Blois and Saumur, was a bit commercial for our The campsite is bigger than we are used to but staff very friendly and facilities good rather than great. Camped next to the river in a very shady pitch which was super during the heatwave. Some unusual noises at night which we think may have been otters and experienced not so much a dawn chorus but the 1812 overture of animal and bird noises. I liked that. Nice lake to swim in but bar area a bit naf. We we were there out of season but suspect would be a bit noisy and busy during school hols. Overall a very good experience - great cycling along quiet roads. Silex restaurant in Chahaignes is awesome- 20 euros for 3 heavenly courses and local wine and cheese to die for as they say.
