Introduction
Central France is the geographical and political heart of the country. Here you'll find the glorious capital of Paris, and some of France's former royalty's most glamorous and outrageous châteaux. The Loire Valley, perhaps one of the most iconic and magnificent rural areas of this beautiful country, bends its way through the region - vineyards and rustically elegant farmyards following its path.
Central France also has a few surprises in store. The first is Limousin, a sparsely populated region where sweeping farmland, rolling hills and Limousin cattle dominate. Then there's the Auvergne region, which also offers something new - it's the largest dormant volcanic region in Europe. All of these attractions and more besides are easy to reach from the UK and diverse to the last - making Central France a great addition to a tailor-made holiday France holiday.
