Naming and etymology





Château de Chambord




Logo used prior to 2015


Like many contemporary regions of France, the region of Centre was created from parts of three historical provinces: Touraine, Orléanais, and Berry. The name Centre was chosen by the French government purely on the basis of geography, in reference to its location in north-central France (the central part of the original French language area),


However, Centre is not situated in the geographical centre of France, and the name was criticized as being too dull and nondescript.[citation needed] Proposed names for the region included Val de Loire after the Loire Valley (the main feature of the region) or Cœur de Loire (i.e. Heart of Loire).[citation needed] On 17 January 2015, as part of the reorganization of French regions, the region's official name was changed to Centre-Val de Loire.[2]Val de Loire is associated with positive images of the Loire Valley, such as the châteaux, the gentle and refined lifestyle, the wine, and the mild and temperate climate, all of which attract many tourists to the region. A new logo was also created.
