your experience

Step onboard an air-conditioned bus and begin the 3-hour journey to the Loire Valley. Sit back, relax, and gaze at the scenery of the typical French countryside as you travel to your first destination: Château de Chenonceau. Explore the magnificent white castle, also known as the ‘Ladies’ Château’ because of the notorious women who built, decorated, restored and maintained it throughout the centuries, and stroll through the lush gardens alongside the river. Step back in time and feel like true royalty as you walk through the rooms decorated with exquisite tapestries, paintings, and furniture.

Next, you'll head to the impressive Château de Chambord, a castle recognized internationally as an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of French power and Renaissance art. Admire the famous double helix spiral staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci. At the top of the staircase, you will find the Chateau’s terrace, which offers phenomenal panoramic views of the estate.
