Exceptional 3-Day Loire Valley Tour with Chloé - We spent three unforgettable days touring the Loire Valley with A La Française, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our guide, Chloé White-Blampey, was exceptional. With a PhD in architectural history, she brought each château to life with rich historical context and thoughtful insights into the architecture. Over the course of the tour, we visited stunning châteaux including Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, Château de Chenonceau, and others. Chloé’s passion and depth of knowledge made every stop engaging and memorable. We also explored a variety of local wineries, which added a fun and flavorful dimension to the trip. The tour was well-paced, well-organized, and full of highlights. I highly recommend A La Française and especially Chloé to anyone looking to experience the best of the Loire Valley.

Beautiful day exploring chateaux and wineries! - Perfect day exploring the Loire Valley! Agate, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared great travel tips with us. The two chateaux were incredible but the highlight for us was exploring the two wineries! We loved learning the history of the wineries and enjoyed the tastings as well. Fun day overall! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see the highlights of the Loire Valley.

Good wine and castle combo, great guide. - Good tour, well organized, and the guide was especially nice. Because the last person in the group decided to go along for the full day, we did. It have to come back to Tours, which gave us time for lunch at Villandry. Only feedback would be to make sure that this is the standard for the tour. The restaurant in Villandry was a really nice part of the overall experience. Price was on the high end, but worth it overall, considering how much we enjoyed the tour guide.

great castles and wineries - The tour guide Camille was great, warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The first castle was small but very nicely furnished. The second castle had amazing gardens worth the trip. The afternoon we spent by doing two wine tastings in the region. A very nice daytrip that I can recommend warmly.

Château, Cheers, and Chuckles - This was a great experience. Our guide, Dimitri, was both funny and knowledgeable, which made the long day much more enjoyable. His witty commentary and energy really helped the day go by smoothly. The tour is definitely worth doing — the château views and the wine tasting were both excellent.
