A lovely walk through the vineyards with beautiful views of the Loire, passing close to Château du Nozet and the St Andelain viewpoint, and the kindness of the manager at the Brasserie in St Andelain, who lets walkers warm up inside (it’s not very warm in March) in exchange for buying a drink or a bite to eat. An easy walk

A lovely walk through the vineyards. It’s worth noting that in the village of Les Loges, if you go under the railway line, there are picnic tables along the banks of the Loire, making for a very pleasant stop. The Château de Nozet is absolutely stunning – it’s a shame it’s privately owned and therefore not open to the public!

A walk in foggy weather. Very varied. A bit too many roads and noise from the motorway towards the end

On one of July’s rare sunny days, we went for a lovely walk through the vineyards. There were some stunning views. A few short climbs to stretch our legs. We passed through some pretty villages and caught a glimpse of a castle in excellent condition.
