The villages of Poncé sur Loir and Ruillé sur Loir, located in the heart of the valley's vineyard, await you for a discovery of their heritage. Don’t miss the visit of the Château de Poncé sur Loir and its remarkable gardens. The winemakers along the route also await you for visits to their cellars enhanced with tastings. It is here, in the heart of the Loir valley, that Louis Désiré Rustin, inventor of the famous Rustines, trained on these same roads and developed his renowned rubber patching process. The Rustin company is still based in La Chartre sur le Loir (not open to visitors).
