Beyond the hotel

On the roads of yesteryear and the Loire Valley

Rear view of a classic red convertible driving along a winding country road. An exceptional stay at Les Hauts de Loire – 5-star hotel, restaurant, and spa.

Although Les Hauts de Loire is only a two-hour drive from Paris, nothing stops you from continuing your journey once you arrive in our sublime region, a UNESCO World Heritage site. But if you do, why not hit the road in the most beautiful way possible? 

Cockpit 41, based in Blois, offers bespoke itineraries in vehicles from the 50s to the 80s, for a drive where the charm of vintage cars meets the gentle landscapes of the Loire. With travel journals, access to private sites, and gourmet stops, everything is designed for an unforgettable experience that blends heritage with the art of living.

Whether it’s a Porsche 912 Targa or 356C, an MG B GT, a convertible, a sports car, or simply a retro classic, the road takes a much more romantic or authentic turn behind the wheel of these collector models. With the windows down or the wind in your hair, the experience is truly different, and the landscapes—from castles to vineyards—are appreciated in a whole new light.
