Loire Valley Castles Tour with Chambord and Chenonceau from Paris
Overview
Step back into the French Renaissance on this comprehensive full-day exploration of the Loire Valley, the "Garden of France." Departing from the heart of Paris in a climate-controlled coach, you’ll journey to three UNESCO World Heritage-listed masterpieces. Explore the romantic Château de Chenonceau, elegantly arched over the River Cher, followed by the refined 17th-century interiors of the privately-owned Château de Cheverny—the inspiration for Tintin’s Marlinspike Hall. The grand finale is the monumental Château de Chambord, commissioned by King François I and featuring the legendary double-helix staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci. This hassle-free tour includes all entrance fees and trilingual guide assistance, allowing you to discover these royal residences at your own pace while we handle all logistics.
