Entry was quick and efficient. The histopad was such a great way to enhance the visit and learn loads of history in a fun, interesting way. Chateau de Chambord is an architectural feast on the eyes and the very unusual double helix staircase was something special. I loved it.

The Chateaux Chenoncaux is truly a very special look into an ancient time of French nobility. The ambience is so delightfully soothing and engaging. The gardens and surrounding grounds are beautiful and relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would heartily recommend a visit to this enchanting estate.

Most of all I loved our guide Alex, very knowledgeable thoughtful and entertaining. The castles were unbelievable, certainly says a lot about French history. The lunch at the chateau was simple but the iconic setting in the unspoilt chateau in it's original construction was a unique treat. As we traveled along Alex pointed out other castles and told us of their history and their intimate stories. I highly recommend this tour.

The staff at the entrance are very friendly. Be prepared to climb a few steps, but the view from the city walls is absolutely stunning. Inside, the tapestry room is extraordinary, with scenes and symbols worth examining in detail—ideally with a guide who can provide explanations. There’s also a small courtyard with a spot that serves excellent, refreshing handmade juices and much more.

I visited many castles during my trip to the Loire Valley, but I particularly liked the ones in Villandry. They have beautifully decorated interiors that are truly fascinating.

Thought maybe my wife and I would enjoy an hour visiting Clos aLuce Castle for a nice day trip from Orleans. In reality we ended up spending an enchanting three hours wandering the chateau, the exhibits, and the park. The designers have done a marvelous job in creating a flow through the entire property. Well worth the trip!
