Marvel at three of the Loire Valley's most famous châteaux on our full-day trip from Paris. Kick the day off at the one of the largest in the Loire Valley in the midst of a massive forest, Chambord. Built for King Francis I in the 16th century in classic Renaissance style, this château features panoramic terraces, countless chimneys, and a magnificent doube helix staircase. Hear stories about this historic château deriving from the Middle Ages, through the French Revolution, and during World War II. The next stop on our tour is the fairytale-like Château de Chenonceau, nicknamed "the ladies' castle" due to the numerous well-known aristocratic French women who have called this stunning château stretching over the River Cher home. A few of its sophisticated former residents include Catherine de Medici, Diane de Poitiers, and the White Queen, Louise de Lorraine.
Our final visit of the day brings us to Château de Cheverny, unless you are with us on a Monday or Saturday in the summer (April 1 through October 31), in which case this tour concludes with Château d'Amboise. Both are stunning châteaux rich in history, which will round out your great day in the Loire Valley.
