Description
Step into the storybook beauty of the Loire Valley on this unforgettable day trip from Paris. Discover magnificent castles, charming French towns, and local wines as you explore one of France’s most enchanting regions in comfort.
Your journey begins at the spectacular Château de Chambord, the Loire Valley’s most iconic Renaissance castle and the inspiration behind the castle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Hear fascinating stories about its royal history from your guide before exploring the château at your own pace. Admire its grand architecture, climb the famous staircase linked to Leonardo da Vinci, and enjoy sweeping rooftop views over the surrounding countryside.
Next, continue to the charming town of Blois, where you’ll have free time to relax and enjoy lunch at one of the cafés or restaurants around the lively Place Louis XII.
In the afternoon, visit the elegant Château de Chenonceau, beautifully set across the River Cher and known as the “Ladies’ Castle.” Before your visit, enjoy a complimentary tasting of local Loire Valley wines in the château’s vaulted wine cellar. Then explore the château at your own pace, discovering richly decorated rooms, the historic chapel, grand kitchens, and stunning gardens once cared for by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici.
As you travel through the picturesque Loire countryside, your tour leader will share stories of French royalty, noble families, and the region’s rich history. With breathtaking castles, charming villages, and delicious local wine, this day trip from Paris is the perfect escape into the heart of France.
