Notable for its historic towns, architecture and wines, the
valley has been inhabited since the Middle Palaeolithic period. With hundreds
of castles the central part of the Loire River valley, the valley has been
added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
We prefer to stay in apartments or Gites as much as
possible, in Loches we stayed with Silvia. The town is one of the most
picturesque in central France.
Enter the garden through a nondescript gate to see the
garden and the dovecote. A dovecote is a structure intended to house pigeons or
doves. Dovecotes may be free-standing structures in a variety of shapes, or
built into the end of a house or barn. They generally contain pigeonholes for
the birds to nest. Pigeons and doves
were an important food source historically in Western Europe and were kept for
their eggs, flesh, and dung. (I looked it up).
