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.
Château du Loir has an interesting church, classified as a historical monument. The church is the Eglise Guingalois, and it has a 10th century crypt and an 18th century organ. The town itself is lively and attractive, with all amenities, and there are supermarkets, local shops, leisure activities, bars and restaurants.

The city of Tours is great for a day in town, with excellent shopping and cultural facilities.
