Get picked up from your hotel with a deluxe car or a van and enjoy a visit of three major castles of the Loire valley: Chambord, Chenonceau and Cheverny (or Amboise or Blois to choose instead of Cheverny) with a licensed guide for private tours inside.
About only 2h drive from Paris towards the valley of the river Loire, discover the amazing castle of Chambord, the largest in the Loire Valley, allegedly built to a design created by Leonardo da Vinci. Extravagant structure with massive tours and terraces holding 360 chimneys where the court and the women used to attend the king coming back from hunting. Of all the architectural wonders of Chambord, the most famous is the double-spiral staircase, core of the building.
Discover also the town and castle of Amboise, Royal castle and gardens overlooking the river and the blue-slate roofs of the town. The Saint Hubert chapel houses the tomb of Leonardo who died in Amboise. Tasting of Touraine wines, appellation Amboise or Montlouis.
Your day also includes a visit of Chenonceau, castle-bridge built over the river Cher, where the unique beauty of its architecture reflects in the water, nicknamed "le Château des Dames", it owes a large part of its charm to women.
We will then take you back to your Paris hotel.
Possible options instead of Amboise, to be discussed with your guide:
Discover Cheverny is a classical early 17th century private castle richly furnished, with a beautiful park and a hundred hound dogs in their kennels.
Or visit the castle of Blois, a magnificent royal castle in a major town and illustrates different periods in architecture : it combines a Gothic, a Renaissance and a Classical wing.
