The Loire Valley is a great place to eat and drink. Whether you're touring Vouvray and visiting caves or sampling some of the many local pork dishes, you'll eat and drink well.

Local specialites include Rillons and Rillettes, two pork products found in most charcuteries or delis. Another item often seen on menus is andouillette, a tripe sausage I tried only once.

Local markets are also great places to experience traditional foods. The market in Amboise offers a huge range of foods from the region. You can even sample some local wines, even early on Sunday morning!

And of course, don't forget the pâtisseries for a sweet treat!
