Château du Loir
The town of Château du Loir has neither a chateau, nor is it on the River Loir, strictly speaking, so it is a town that occasions speculation as to exactly how it gained its name! (It is however, very close to the River Loir.) It is a very appealing, medium sized and well equipped town, situated in the very beautiful department of the Sarthe, in western France.
