What's on in April in the Loire Valley, France

April in the Loire Valley

During April the days begin to get longer and the temperature rise steadily up to around 20°C. You can have misty starts to the morning clearing away quickly to give very pleasant days and nights. There will be the odd days of rain but rarely for long periods. It is a good time to visit as there are fewer tourists around!

 

Sunrise around 7.30am, sunset around 6.30pm.

 

 

 

During the Easter weekend (20th 21st & 22nd April) many of the major chateaux of the Loire Valley offer egg treasure hunts for children, of all ages!  Rivau with its magical setting may just get our vote as the place to be.
