Explore the best of the Loire Valley with a combo ticket that includes Chenonceau and two more castles of your choice— Amboise, Chambord, Clos Lucé, or Chaumont-sur-Loire.
Chenonceau Castle
As the second most-visited castle in France (after Versailles), Chenonceau receives an annual footfall of 1.3 million visitors every year. On a self-guided tour, explore the Medici Gallery which spans the Cher River, admire a unique collection of artwork that includes paintings and tapestries from the 16th to18th centuries, and enjoy a relaxing stroll in the manicured gardens of Catherine Medici and Diane Poitiers.
Chambord Castle
The largest castle in the Loire Valley, Chambord boasts 440 rooms, 365 fireplaces, and a 13,400-acre park. On a self-guided visit, explore over 60 rooms, climb the famed staircase, and spend leisure time in the park.
Amboise Castle
Overlooking the Loire River, this castle was the favored residence among the royals during the French Renaissance. Besides a glimpse into the grandeur of French history, the castle is also the final resting place of da Vinci.
Clos Luce Castle
As the last residence of da Vinci, he brought with him The Mona Lisa, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, and Saint John the Baptist. Although these pieces eventually moved out, the castle remains home to some of the artist's innovative inventions including the tank, catapult, and flying machine.
Chaumont-sur-Loire Castle
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the castle is most famous for the annual International Garden Festival (Apr-Nov) which sees 30 magnificent gardens created by teams of artists, architects, and designers. Additionally, there are contemporary art exhibitions too which draw a significant crowd.
Royal Chateau of Blois
It is famously referred to as the Gateway to the Loire Valley castles, owing to its ease of access from Paris. A favored residence among the royals, this castle has been home to seven kings and ten queens of France and is also one of the few castles to remain fully furnished and decorated—truly a historical site.
