About this activity
Your Experience Take a Day Trip to the “Garden of France”

Don’t miss your chance to visit the Loire Valley, also known as the “Garden of France,” dotted with more than 100 Châteaux. This day trip from Paris is designed to show you the best of the Loire Valley by taking you to the three most stunning castles that the region has to offer: Chambord, Chenonceau, and Amboise. Your experience begins in the center of Paris, where you will meet your small group (maximum 8 people) and your English-speaking driver guide. Step on board a comfortable mini bus with air conditioning and relax as you listen to your guide tell you all about the Loire Valley and the Châteaux that you will visit on the way.

Explore Three Iconic Castles at Your Own Pace

Your first stop is Chambord, an iconic representation of Renaissance architecture that houses a famous double helix staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Explore the colossal castle at your own leisure and take da Vinci’s staircase to the Château’s terrace, which offers phenomenal panoramic views of the 13,000 acres-large estate.

Next, you will visit Château d’Amboise, a stunning castle on the banks of the Loire river. Admire late Gothic and early Renaissance architecture and furniture, stroll through the royal gardens, learn about the significance of the castle through an interactive video area and pay respects to Leonardo da Vinci, who rests in the castle’s chapel.

Chenonceau, an elegant white castle that features a gallery bridge spanning over the Cher river, is known around the world for its magnificent beauty. Also known as the “Ladies’ Château” because of the notorious women who built, decorated, and maintained it throughout the centuries, Chenonceau boasts a fascinating royal history. Feel like true royalty at as you stroll through the castle’s rooms, which are lavishly decorated with exquisite tapestries, paintings and furniture.

Wine Tasting to Round Off Your Loire Valley Experience

After exploring Château d'Amboise, you will have time for a lunch break in the village at the foot of the castle. Let your guide show you hidden gems of the town, including cafés and bakeries that are only accessible by foot. You will also get to enjoy a wine tasting before leaving for Chenonceau. After you have visited all three castles, you will begin the journey back to Paris, which will take about 2 hours and 15 minutes. When you arrive back in the center of Paris around 8pm, you are sure to be spellbound by the hallmarks of Renaissance architecture and French-style luxury that you have spent the day exploring.
