Description
Escape Paris for a full day in the Loire Valley — the Garden of France — and discover three of its most magnificent châteaux by coach.
Begin at Château de Chambord, the largest château in the Loire Valley, built by King François I between 1519 and 1547. A masterpiece of French Renaissance architecture, its design is still attributed by some to Leonardo da Vinci.
Next, visit Château de Chenonceau, a fairytale castle straddling the Cher River, shaped by the remarkable women who inhabited it and home to France's first-ever fireworks display. The final stop is Château de Cheverny, a refined 17th-century estate renowned for its beautifully furnished interiors and manicured gardens.
Free time for lunch (not included) is available at either Chenonceau or Chambord. You'll return to Paris by evening.
