The Rhine is about 200 km longer.

The Loire Valley has been called the "Garden of France" and is studded with over a thousand châteaux, each with distinct architectural embellishments covering a wide range of variations.

I would say if it is in france then one would have to then consider it's length and include as one of the answers.

For all of you who believe this answer is wrong and that the correct answer is the Rhine, there is a button on the top right that says "Report". Feel free to report that the answer is incorrect.

Dave Rogers The Rhine defines the border of France so I would have to say it is "in France". I personally believe the correct answer to the question is the Rhine. The question does not specify that the entire length of the river has to be in France. And the Rhine is significantly longer than the Loire.

The answer above is correct. Google "Loire River." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loire
