Mini Chateaux in the Loire Valley

This is probably one of the first stops you should consider on your visit to the Loire Valley as not only will it impress the kids (the younger ones anyway, no computer generated effects for the older ones) but it will give you the chance to preview the chateaux to allow you to decide which ones to visit.
