The Loire Valley region in central France includes three large natural areas - the Brenne, the Sologne and the ribbon of nature reserves along the Loire River. These areas form a prime destination for wildlife enthusiasts.

The best-known feature of the region are the thousands of reed-fringed lakes with their wealth of birds. The mosaic of lowery meadows, hedgerows, heathlands and old oak woodlands support an incredible flora and fauna. Only a two hours drive from Paris, this region is on of the finest nature destinations in France.

This nature guide is part of the Crossbill Guides series for travelling naturalists and other nature lovers. The guides combine insightful background information with a series of carefully selected routes and helpful suggestions to help you observe the flora and fauna.
