Overview

Spend a relaxing day away from the hustle and bustle of Paris and discover three Marvellous Castles — Amboise, Chenonceau and Chambord — in the UNESCO-listed Loire Valley. After enjoying the picturesque drive to central France by air-conditioned minivan, you’ll independently explore the châteaux. Find out which castle the royals favored, where Leonardo da Vinci’s remains are buried, and which castle is so stunning that it boasts its own UNESCO status. Round-trip transportation and an enjoyable wine tasting session are included in this small group day trip.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Chateau de Chambord, le Chateau, 41250, Chambord France

Chambord is the most majestic of the Châteaux you will see, boasting massive medieval towers perfectly blended with Renaissance elegance. Set in 13,000 acres of parkland this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the Château, attributed to Leonardo Di Vinci is simply mind-blowing.

Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes

Stop At: Chateau Royal d'Amboise, Montee de l'Emir Abd El Kader Montée de l'Emir Abd-el-Kader, 37400, Amboise France

Amboise, with its spectacular view over the Loire, is famous for being the last resting place of one of history’s most famous men: Leonardo Da Vinci and with its massive gothic defensive features it evokes that bygone era of knights on horseback.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Chateau de Chenonceau, 37150 Chenonceaux France

Chenonceau, above all stands out as the most beautiful of the Châteaux of the Loire as it extends with infinite grace over the waters of the river Cher.

We had a great day. It was an amazing day, lots of history. Nice lunch at a local restaurant. It was a small group, comfortable travel to and from Paris. Lots of walking.

Excellent experience. Our guide was excellent and super knowledgeable. Really enjoyed being able to stroll and experience by ourselves, too. This was well worth doing.

The experience was very good. The trip to the castles is wonderful. However, it would have been better to have a guided tour or at least audio guides (all were sold out). The driver gave us a 5 minute explanation before arriving to each castle but that was not enough. On the way back the traffic was terrible and the driving was not smooth at all. The AC on the van was not always working well.

The semi private is a must and it was great! Marcelo was our driver and was very warm and funny and made us feel very comfortable. We learned a lot and the castles are a must. Take time to leave the busy streets of Paris and take this calming trip. It feels like you go back in time!

A wonderful day trip and introduction to the countryside and the chateaux. Our driver/guide Majela (sp?) was kind, helpful, and informative. Given the size of the chateaux, the crowds, and the limited time, consider this tour an overview of each location; each chateau and its gardens probably needs a half-day to really see and appreciate. There is quite a bit of walking and stairs so be prepared.
