Discover the magic of the Chateaus of the Loire Valley on an exciting day tour that will take you through the history, architecture and unique flavours of this region of France. We will start our day with a guided tour of the majestic Chateau de Chenonceau, known as "The Ladies' Chateau". Its unique architecture and its history linked to important French women such as Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Médicis make it a jewel of the Renaissance. The spectacular Renaissance Gardens that surround it make it even more impressive.
After this fascinating experience, we will head to Amboise to enjoy a typical lunch of Loire Valley products at Les Caves Ambacia (not included, at your own expense). There, you will have the opportunity to indulge in local cheeses, charcuterie and fish, while admiring the views of the Loire River. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to have lunch on your own in Amboise.
Next, we will move on to the imposing Chateau de Chambord, set in vast grounds that are almost as big as the city of Paris. This chateau is a unique monument in its architecture and proportions, with over 400 rooms and an impressive double helix staircase. Leonardo da Vinci is said to have had a hand in its conception, which adds even more fascination to this Loire Valley marvel.
At the end of our day full of exploration and discovery, we will return to our starting point at the Tours Tourist Office, with vivid memories of the magnificent Chateaus of the Loire Valley and the unforgettable experience at Les Caves Ambacia.
