Numerous beautiful chateaux exist in the Loire Valley. One particularly charming chateau that is often overlooked is the Chateau de Valencay. From Blois, it is a wondrous two-hour drive through gorgeous countryside. A five-minute walk from the chateau is the memorable Musee de l’Automobile, which houses about 60 vehicles dating from 1898 until 1979.
