Two Loire castles, expert storytelling, wine tasting, and round-trip travel—no planning required.
- Starting point: Departs 7:15am, from 6 Avenue de Wagram (near Arc de Triomphe) or Catacombs of Paris (as per your choice). Please arrive 15 min early; hotel pickup is not available.
- Day out: 13-hour round trip by AC coach to two of Loire’s most popular castles with an English-speaking local guide.
- You’ll get: Skip-the-line entry at Chambord and Chenonceau, guided tours filled with stories and secrets, and free time for lunch in medieval Blois. At day’s end, enjoy a tasting of crisp Loire Valley whites inside Chenonceau’s vaulted cellar before heading back to Paris.
- Château de Chambord: Climb the da Vinci double-helix staircase, roam 60+ rooms, and gaze over royal hunting forests from the rooftops.
- Château de Chenonceau: Walk the 60-m Medici Gallery spanning the River Cher, admire flower-filled gardens, chapels, and Renaissance kitchens, once shaped by queens.
- Upgrades: Opt for a Small-group minivan (≤ 8 guests) for that extra leg-room, more personal time with your guide, and front-row château views.
