In the south-west of the department of Indre-et-Loire, the Pays du Chinonais cultivates the art of good living around its many heritage assets and a diverse economic fabric in which agriculture and viticulture act as pillars.
Composed of 59 municipalities grouped into two communities of municipalities, the territory consists of a main pole: Chinon (8,527 inhabitants in 2018) and four secondary urban centers. With a density of 48 inhabitants / km², we are a rural territory crossed by a dense hydrographic network (Loire and Vienne rivers) which has generated landscapes and a built heritage of character, some of which are typical of Ligurian landscapes, listed as World Heritage by UNESCO.
Our LAG strategy is: Innovation as a lever for attractiveness and competitiveness of Chinonais.

Project idea summary: 

Within the philosophy of our regional strategy of tourism (Région Centre-Val de Loire) and our LAG strategy, the Pays du Chinonais and his LAG wish to create a dynamism around the European road of D’Artagnan.
