Why not get away to the Loire Valley or to Berry? The SNCF and the Centre Region are teaming up to get you out of Paris and into the countryside...

The first tourism development agreement executed by Intercités and the Centre Region Tourism Committee will give you plenty of travel ideas. The idea is to jointly promote ecotourism from the Paris region into the so-called "region of Kings". Newsletters and links between the two partners' tourism sites will create a buzz around travel to the Centre.

Get away on a tourist train. The "Paris - Loire Valley" service will take you to the famous chateaux towns that are listed by Unesco as World Heritage Sites - Blois, Amboise, Tours and more. Don't miss the chateau of Chaumont-sur-Loire, a colourful burst of inspiration with its annual International Garden Festival. Hop on board the "Intercités Jacques Coeur" to Bourges, and relive the history of King Charles VII's famous silversmith.

Majestic, wild or romantic, there is something for everyone in the Centre Region, especially now you can get there by train. See you next weekend, then?
