Capital/prefecture: Blois.
Name: Named after two rivers that flow through it: the Loir (north) and the Cher (south).
Known for its magnificent Loire châteaux, such as Chambord (the most famous and largest Renaissance château).
Cheverny.
Blois itself (royal château).
Also Chaumont-sur-Loire and others.
Other highlights: ZooParc de Beauval (one of the finest zoos in Europe), Sologne forests, vineyards, beautiful gardens, and peaceful rural communities.
It is a sparsely populated, rural department with abundant nature, history, and tourism (many châteaux and Renaissance heritage).
In short: a department synonymous with fairytale châteaux, the Loire Valley, and a blend of nature and culture.
Ideal for those who love history, architecture, and tranquility!
