• Chateau de Chenonceau - Begin your journey with the Loire Valley’s most romantic landmark: Chenonceau, affectionately called the “Château des Dames.” Spanning the Cher River, it is instantly recognizable by its graceful arches and elegant silhouette. Enjoy the freedom to explore the château at your leisure, wandering through its richly adorned rooms and soaking in the unique riverside ambiance that sets Chenonceau apart from any other château in France. Be sure to visit the gardens, which are designed to mirror the château’s refined, intimate charm and the women who have shaped its history.

• Chateau de Cheverny - Next, visit Cheverny Castle, a sophisticated and inviting château celebrated for its beautifully preserved interiors and classic French elegance. It offers a distinct atmosphere—less imposing than Chambord, yet wonderfully “lived-in” and polished. Cheverny is also renowned in popular culture, having inspired Hergé’s Moulinsart in the Tintin comics.

• Chateau de Chambord - Conclude your tour with the Loire Valley’s most magnificent masterpiece: Chambord, the largest and most spectacular château in the region. This is the epitome of Renaissance splendor—towers, terraces, and a skyline resembling a fairytale city atop a roof. Inside, explore freely and discover the château’s most renowned feature: the intricate double-helix staircase, often credited to Leonardo da Vinci. Chambord embodies scale and ambition—take your time to appreciate the monumental and visionary essence of this place. It’s the perfect finale to the day—charming, cultured, and a delightful experience before returning to Paris.
