This ancient hamlet is famous for its hot springs, first discovered by pilgrims on their way to Rome.
Since then, popes, saints, and statesmen have stopped by the town square – essentially unchanged since the 16th century – for a rejuvenating soak. The water still comes from the same underground aquifer as it did then. Go on and dip your feet in the thermal water before puttering around in the bookshop.
Renowned for its magnificent châteaux, this UNESCO World Heritage site beckons travelers to embark on a journey back in time to an era of kings, queens, and fairytales. From towering fortresses to elegant palaces, the Loire Valley boasts an impressive array of castles that are as enchanting as they are diverse.
