Land of Quiet Volcanoes 157 miles
Clermont-Ferrand has the advantage of backing immediately on to hill country, and these are no ordinary hills. They are the relics of huge volcanic convulsions thousands of years ago. Now green and wooded, they provide space in the valleys for holiday resorts, including spas whose thermal waters were famous in Roman times. The area’s 20 mineral springs supply the nation with bottled water.
Heartland of France 158 miles
Porcelain from Limoges and tapestries from Aubusson are two of the main features of this tour, where historic towns are matched by fine recreational facilities, especially on and around two beautiful wooded reservoirs. Limoges, the starting point, has been an industrial centre for centuries and is still expanding.
Of Rivers & Islands 303 miles
Starting in Nantes, this tour soon leaves all Breton influences behind as it heads for the valleys of the Loire and the Sarthe. You will find some of France’s finest son et lumière presentations here, one of the world’s most famous motor-racing circuits, and the Pays Nantais and Anjou are packed with vineyards.
The Western Loire Valley 215 miles
Starting in Nantes, this tour soon leaves all Breton influences behind as it heads for the valleys of the Loire and the Sarthe. You will find some of France’s finest son et lumière presentations here, one of the world’s most famous motor-racing circuits, and the Pays Nantais and Anjou are packed with vineyards.
Through Chateau Country 235 miles
Some of the most elegant castles in Europe are within easy reach of Tours, in and around the valley of the Loire. Vineyards abound in Touraine, ‘the garden of France’. Although this route starts and finishes beside the Loire, it also goes into the lonely area of pools, farms and woodlands known as the Sologne.
What Customers are saying about RoadTour...
“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey
“Finding atmospheric pubs with good food is always a challenge when you don't know the area and
can be stressful when you're hungry and tired!!”
David, Essex
“Road Tour has found us some great pubs which have made our journeys all the more enjoyable. Every place
it's suggested has been a winner.”
Nikki, Cambridgeshire'
“The heritage commentary is really informative and entertaining – it’s great to discover
the background to the brown tourist signs we normally whizz by on the motorway.”
Michael, Reading
“This is the perfect thing for history buffs - RoadTour really brings boring car journeys to life.”

London
“It doesn't intrude on the journey it complements it with just enough information if you
