This is Château la Valliére !!!

Posted in Europe, Food and Wine, France

I was on my by now monthly road warrior trails of my belle France, I was out with my boys and my good dog Rex riding into the wonderful regions near me. This even if passed by before, is my first time in the town of Château la Valliére, full of architecture and history monuments. The village of Château-la-Vallière is located in the Indre-et-Loire department 37, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of my belle France. Therefore, here is my take on this is Château la Valliére !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The village of Château la Valliére has nearly 1,800 inhabitants, It is located 17 km from Le Lude, 38 km from Tours, 62 km from Le Mans , 74 km from Angers, 260 km from Paris ,and 299 km from my current home, We came here from Le Lude on the D306 road which becomes same road the D959 then bear left around the town on the D766 road to connect with the D34 road dir Cléré les Pins but turning left to see the ruins of the Château de Vaujours on the D349 road which led to a great surprise a bit further down in Cléré les Pins, before coming back to Château La Villiére and its church.

On my road warrior trails this was our stop for gas/petrol and groceries for our gîte/apartment in Le Lude (see post), The Super U supermarket was en route entering the town from the castle on 75 Avenue Du General De Gaulle D959 road

A bit of history tell us that under the Ancien Régime, Château-la-Vallière was an integral part of Anjou, and more precisely of the Angevin Seneschal of Baugé (dependent on the main Seneschal of Angers) until the French revolution. When the French departments were created in 1790, the entire eastern part of Anjou, from Château-la-Vallière in the north to Bourgueil in the south, passing through the grounds of the Château de Gizeux, was attached to the newly created department of Indre-et-Loire. During the French revolution, the town was provisionally named Val-Joyeux. Today, this region is called Angevin Touraine.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
