Lovely Loire Valley Deal of the Week (thanks, The Independent!)

Toot! That was indeed the sound of Lagrange blowing their own trumpet, as, like so many others before them, the good folks at The Independent clearly know a great deal when they see one, as our lovely Loire Valley residence 'Les Jardins de Renaissance' in Azay-le-Rideau is their 'Deal of the Week'! So, what is the fabulous deal, we hear you cry....Well, just cast your peepers down the page and see..!

A week in a two bedroom self-catered holiday home sleeping between 4 and 6 people in the Lagrange Prestige residence Les Jardins de Renaissance in Azay-le-Rideau costs from just £382 in total for accommodation only. This price applies to a week's stay up to the week commencing 18/06, so you had better get your skates on if you want to beat the summer holiday crowds and spend a week or two relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of France's Loire Valley!

For those of you who need slightly more persausion than the seal of approval from a broadsheet newspaper, Azay-le-Rideau is a great base to explore the Loire Valley's impressive landscape and famous Chateaux from. Azay itself boasts an awe-inspiring, excellently preserved 16th-century chateau set in the heart of a romantic park, ideal for handheld strolls at dusk. Aaaah. The Chateau is also on the UNESCO World Heritge list, and once you have craned your neck to gaze up at the turrets and towers, you will definitely see why!

For those of you who may be feeling more energetic this summer, why not get on your bike and exlpore the Loire on two wheels? The area has miles and miles of cycle routes to chose from, and what better way to build up an appetite than a day's cycling? Plus, all those fair weather cyclists out there will be no doubt delighted to hear that the Loire Valley is lovely and flat. For the most part, anyway (hey, no judgement here, it is still a holiday after all...).

So - great price, great accommodation, great big Chateaux, great power thighs from a week spent atop your bike....what are you waiting for?!
