Filmed in August 2023.
One of the most beautiful villages in France, Montsoreau never fails to impress visitors: from a scenic location by the Loire river, the silhouette of its château, built in the 15th century, to its most popular event, "les Puces de Montsoreau" (a monthly flee market) Montsoreau is a mandatory stop between Saumur and Tours.
Follow Véro on a tour of the village and let Montsoreau (and the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site) charm you.
Merci to l'Amarante for a delightful cruise along the Loire river!

The love for all that is French is evident in Vero’s detailed description of the history, geography, and culture of the places she visits. What a delight it would be to take a guided tour with her. Merci! I especially loved the river scenes with the relaxing music. I would imagine someone like Monet painting a river scene on the banks of the Loire!

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

You are very kind Michael. Maybe one day... Reach out if you ever find yourself in the Loire Valley where I run private tours in my city.

@robinsistad4826 11 месяцев назад

Merci Vero! Such a beautiful area! The views from the hill and boat were magnificent ...the climb was worth it ;-) Bon weekend to you !

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Merci Robin. Yes, the climb was worth it. You can climb even higher than I did...

@jeaniemeyer8413 11 месяцев назад

Vero-loved the tour. Always enjoy seeing a different village and its activities on a lovely Sunday morning. THANK YOU for climbing so many steps in the village and in the chateaus to give us the bird's eye view! It is appreciated. Also, personally love flea markets and the history you can hold in your hands as well as purchase. I agree that it is so much more satisfying to be in a chateau where there is signage to describe what you are looking at and its age and/or significance. Also LOVED the boat ride as a river perspective of the towns is so different than the walk beside it. Also LOVED that wooden boat! Thanks so much for starting my day off with France with Vero!!!!

Very pretty place! Merci!

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Yes it is, Cindy, yes it is!

@ThisFrenchLife 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the tour, Vero! You work so hard to share the beauty of France. Merci! And wow - I love brocantes and vide greniers. I find the most amazing things for my little stone house in Bretagne. ❤

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

And thank you for stopping by! I really enjoyed your new video: It’s both fun and practical! Good tips for first time travelers. Well Done.

@@francewithvero Awwwww Thank you so so much for your kind feedback, Vero. This made my day!

@louisevnliebenberg 8 месяцев назад

Love tis video. Definiely added to must-see list. Thank you!

@Liffster 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful guided visit, Véro! I often went to the Sunday market when I lived in Tours and had friends who lived in a troglodyte 'mansion' in Saumur and others in a nearby manoir. Only once did I visit the chateau and, at that time, we snickered through a very badly produced video history of the chateau. Candes St Martin is one of my favorite places to take visitors. You are brilliant at what you do!

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Ha. Wish I'd seen that old video in the château at least! Candes St Martin is on my "virtual tour list" this year. :-) Thank you, like always, for your support.

@KCAlexan 11 месяцев назад

What a stunning town and scenery! Thank you for showing us this very special area.

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Avec grand plaisir.

@tmjstudios6141 11 месяцев назад

loved this video! i thought the use of music during the river tour was perfecto! Merci!

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Good to hear, thank you!

What do you say to somebody going on a staycation? "Non voyage!" You're welcome. Been visiting the Loire valley twice a year for a few years now, staying in Chinon. Found some great stuff at the Montsoreau brocante in September 2023. Guess we just missed you. Thanks for the memories--and for the new ideas!

@fredschwartz5032 11 месяцев назад

magnificent

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Yes it is!

@user-xn3oy4pb7g 11 месяцев назад

The town is so beatiful! That limestone makes such stunning buildings. The chateau reminds me a bit of Villandry and Azay le Rideau, must be from the same period! And this video is gorgeous!

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

The Château in its current form was originally built before Azay or Villandry in the 15th century (Villandry especially was one of the last Renaissance châteaux to be built in the Loire Valley.) It must be the use of the "tuffeau" stone that gives them a similar appearance.

20:32 Many thanks Vero for the wonderful tour of château Montsoreau. I passed the castle on my cycle tour but didn’t have time to go inside😅Now watching your video I could see the magnificent views from the castle tower, what a visual treat! And really enjoyed seeing the back of the village and getting some ideas on how the caves were an integral part of French culinary culture. I cycled from the Abbey Royal of Fontevraud over the hills and vineyards down to Château Montsoreau so I saw the dwellings etched out of the tufa stone.

@consviews284 11 месяцев назад

Thx for the exploration of Montsoreau. Over the years I’ve enjoyed en ligne exploring the towns along the Loire yet hope to visit soon. Yeah, there’s a classic book too. I liked the soothing boat ride but especially your interesting narration. Wonderful being a Patreon subscriber. I wonder if the various pucés specialize? Hmm, how might I enjoy staying there a few months while studying French?

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Bonjour. You would definitely enjoy staying in Montsoreau but I'd recommend to have a car so you can explore the Anjou and Touraine around the village. So much to see there! The famed Abbaye de Fontevraud (The Plantagenêt dynasty necropolis) is nearby for example. -- As for the merchants at "les Puces de Montsoreau" some specialize and some don't. It's one of the most renowned brocantes in the area, certainly. Thank you for your support on Patreon!

@vicavirosenzweig418 11 месяцев назад

Was that an owl singing during the day? Or maybe a whippoorwill? I'm glad the mic was able to capture it for us.

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

All I remember was the sound of the doves as I stood on that pathway above the château...

@christinaimm7338 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for another wonderful visit - Montsoreau looks a delight, Is the river unusually low? It looked as though the banks were much deeper. Encore merci!

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

The Loire is lower than it should be and it has been for the last couple of summers.

@catherinemartina6469 9 месяцев назад

I would love to be in France. I would like to see châteauroux. I was born there but have no recollection.

@jilljohnstone9632 5 месяцев назад

What a fabulous guided tour! We will be visiting Montsoreau in July, will the boat trip be on every day?

@catherinemartina6469 9 месяцев назад

I bet it would be great to practice singing in there...choir practice.

@babsr8479 11 месяцев назад

This is a beautiful area thank you for the tour. 😊💜 Is the only way to get there by driving?

@francewithvero 10 месяцев назад

I'd say it's more convenient to reach Montsoreau by car, yes.

@catherinemartina6469 9 месяцев назад

would you say that the loire valley is more overcast then lets say other areas of France?

@catherinemartina6469 9 месяцев назад

but they have made "climbing" beautiful.

@melvaoconnor 11 месяцев назад

I enjoyed this video but I prefer the ones you do without the music and and the polish…there is something unique about your style and the delivery that does not need this finesse…I guess I am old school but there is so many of the crafted videos on utube…however a new visiter may be more appreciative.

@francewithvero 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for the feedback Melva. On the bright side, my signature "walking tours" are still around, and you will get treated to one with the other France with Vero patrons later this weekend in lovely Langeais :-) I think it's nice to have a mix on this channel for those who enjoy the more "polished" (and shorter) video format. Thank you for your support and see you in Langeais in a few hours!
