Loire Valley Ruins & Archaeology

The Loire Valley’s archaeological landscape spans from prehistoric megaliths to medieval ruins. This collection features the Gallo-Roman amphitheater at Gennes, one of the largest in western France, alongside Neolithic dolmens and menhirs like the Pierre Folle. Medieval highlights include the overgrown remnants of Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers and the defensive Enceinte de Martinopole. These sites illustrate the region's evolution from ancient Roman settlements to the fortified estates of the French nobility.
