TOURAINE
GREETER WALK
MEET A LOCAL, A GREETER
Discover Touraine: Tours – Chinon – Amboise – Loches – Sainte-Maure, with one of its inhabitants, a greeter
Here perhaps more than elsewhere, the Loire and the tuffeau hillsides form an ideal setting for the majesty of the great loire castles, for the practice of
the art of the garden or the art of the vine. In the heart of the Loire Valley, the Touraine is renowned for its gentle way of life, Come share it with our greeters.
La Touraine: where is it, what is it?
La Touraine is one of the former provinces of France, heir to the civitas turonensis or city of the Turones, from which it takes its name.

BETWEEN EARTH AND SEA
From the top of the Aber Ildut to the small port of Mazou, Maryvonne will accompany you for a small eclectic hike. Between the rocky coast of the Iroise Sea, with a view of the Molène archipelago, and ribinoù (small bocage paths in Breton), discover two very different facets and yet so close to our territory. Blue and green mix together to form a single word in Breton: glaz.
