Explore the heart and soul of the French countryside on the Loire Valley Tours, taking you directly from Paris into this stunning region to explore fairy-tale castles, sample local foods and wines, and experience some of France’s most beautiful scenery.
Enjoy a day in the French countryside exploring three remarkable chateaux in the Loire Valley. Join this small group tour from Paris and discover the beautiful renaissance castles of Chenonceau, Chambord, and Amboise!
Wander through the lovely flower gardens of Chenonceau and gaze at its delicate arches which cross over the Cher river. Visit Amboise, the castle on a hillside, and admire the fantastic vista views over the valley. Marvel at Chambord and admire its extravagant renaissance architecture said to be the work of Leonardo Da Vinci.
This tour is far from being a humdrum history lesson! You’ll learn about each castle’s history in a fun way as our guide shares little known facts and focuses on making your tour entertaining and memorable.
You’ll appreciate free time to explore inside each castle at your own pace and visit a charming medieval town for the lunch break where you can eat in a local café, bistro, or bakery of your choice.
Three French castles, each uniquely beautiful, and two wine tastings… All amid the stunning scenery of the Loire Valley. This memorable day trip from Paris will delight all the senses!
