    Itinerary

    This is a typical itinerary for this product

    Stop atLoire Valley

    Marvel at the Loire Valley's opulent châteaux and taste its famous locally-made wine during this full-day tour from Paris.

    2 hours (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atChateau de Chambord

    From Paris, you’ll head first to Château de Chambord. Disney fans will find this castle’s turrets familiar; it was the inspiration for the castle in ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Though originally conceived as a royal hunting lodge, it was built to a scale that must be seen to be believed. You’ll learn all about the castle’s captivating history from your guide, before getting your own chance to explore. Climb a staircase supposedly designed by Da Vinci; enjoy spectacular turret-framed rooftop views; glimpse wild deer around the grounds; and work up an appetite for the next stop.

    1 hours and 15 minutes (approx.)Admission included

    Stop atBlois

    Having worked up an appetite, we'll get back on the bus and on to our next stop - the quaint town of Blois, where you’ll get some free time to enjoy lunch in one of the restaurants located around the beautiful and vibrant Square Louis XII.

    1 hours and 45 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atChateau de Chenonceau

    Last but not least is a visit to the elegant Château de Chenonceau for wine tasting. The chapel, bedrooms and magnificent vaulted kitchens are still furnished and decorated from times gone by, showing off the castle’s many sweeping stone carvings. Don’t miss the impressive main hall, which spans the river Cher, or the gardens cultivated by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici – two of the famous owners that earned Chenonceau the nickname ‘the Ladies’ Château’. After a guided tour, you’ll have a choice: continue exploring, or indulge in a second wine tasting in the castle’s vaulted wine cellar. Three uniquely beautiful castles, good food and wine, all amid the scenery of the Loire Valley: this tour is a feast for the senses.

Nice experience

shenrul, Dec 2024

The tour is very well managed and we had a good experience. Our guide Therma is very knowledgeable and helpful. She told us a lot of historical stories as well as advices in traveling in Paris.

Was good, but too rushed.

nuomnicron, Dec 2024

It was good, Chambord was very rushed, would have liked more time to really explore it better. We went to Bois but didn't have time to really see or do anything other than eat.

Spectacular Day Trip to Iconic Castles from Paris

Claire_Y, Dec 2024

Excellent large group tour experience. I really second guessed whether it would be worth it to take a 50 person coach to tour Chambord and Chenonceau, but it was 100% worth it. Our tour guide Daniel was engaging, knowledgeable, and funny. Not to mention he was able to corral an entire bus full of people to keep us on schedule. The castles were spectacular, and we had just enough time to view every book and cranny before heading to the next locale.
