Loire Valley Château Day Tour 12 hr

Discover the stories and architecture of the French Renaissance on a full-day Loire Valley château tour from Paris. Visit four celebrated estates, each offering a different glimpse into France’s royal past.

See the exterior of Château de Chambord, the Loire Valley’s largest château, then step inside Château de Blois to explore its striking mix of four architectural styles. Continue to Château d’Amboise, perched above the Loire River and closely connected to Leonardo da Vinci, who is buried in its royal chapel. At Château de Chenonceau, tour the interiors of the elegant residence spanning the river, known as the “Ladies’ Château” for the powerful women who shaped its history. The day also brings tales of royal intrigue and Chenonceau’s later role as a World War I hospital.

Private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, onboard Wi-Fi, and bottled water make the journey between châteaux comfortable. Entrance fees are included; lunch is not. Choose this Loire Valley château day tour to experience four remarkable landmarks and the human stories behind them.
