Chenonceau Castle Skip-the-Line Tickets

Visit the Chenonceau Castle, an elegant white castle built on the piers of an old mill in the famous Loire Valley region. Chenonceau is a stunning representation of late Gothic and early Renaissance architecture, featuring a long gallery bridge that spans over the Cher River.

Feel like true royalty as you stroll through the castles’ rooms, which are lavishly decorated with exquisite tapestries, paintings, and furniture.

Stroll through the gallery, a magnificent ballroom with 18 floor-to-ceiling windows and a slate-tile floor.

Round off your visit with a walk through the extensive royal gardens alongside the Cher River, featuring a maze, a 16th-century farm, a carriage gallery, and a vegetable and flower garden. With its elegant gallery bridge, Renaissance architecture, lavishly decorated interior, and extensive gardens, a visit to the Chenonceau Castle offers an unforgettable glimpse into the luxurious lives of the French royals.
