Loire Valley Specials

The enormity of Chambord is resplendent and the life there at the time of Francois I well documented. Amboise is delightful due to the attention to details, the views, the frames for taking your picture with the castle in the background. Clos Lucé with the installations of Leonardo's inventions in the garden is fantastic. A half day at each site is a good plan.

Since I was little, I've dreamed of visiting this castle, and today I finally got to see it. Amboise has always been one of the places I wanted to see; all these castles make the country so special. I hope that everyone can visit this beautiful castle and experience the magic it transmits, especially when there is a treasure hunt to do with the tablet, making the experience super fun, And it's interactive; it teaches so many things.

Beautiful setting with the forest, the autumnal trees and the gardens. It is even a lovely, and close, walk from the railway. I loved the fact that so much, if not all, of the contents of the chateau are original 16th, 17th century pieces, including the floors and ceilings. I loved learning about the history behind Chenonceau, including the information about the Resistance's role during WWII. I also loved that no photos could be taken inside, so no people continually taking selfies! A very relaxing and informative experience. Thank you.

maintenance is great and it is also very clean but the thing that I really loved was precisely reliving the moments in history Long live Catherine De Medici

Not too crowded at this time of year. Chateau superb and parking accessoble (paying 6 euro) a little distant but reasonable. 2 sheltered picnic areas. All in all, a good visit.
