Before you book

Chambord, Chenonceau and Cheverny on the Itinerary

Chambord was commissioned by Francis I and built between 1519 and 1547. Its monumental silhouette, towers and celebrated staircase make it one of the most striking stops on this French Renaissance tour.

Chenonceau stretches across the River Cher and has a history shaped by several influential women. Cheverny offers another atmosphere, with elegant furnished rooms, gardens and the character of a 17th-century residence.

What the Loire Valley Castle Tour Includes

The booking includes return travel from Paris by luxury air-conditioned coach, admission to the castles and either a licensed guide or an audio guide, depending on the selected option.

Free time for lunch is provided at Chenonceau or Chambord. Lunch is generally excluded, except in certain winter packages, while gratuities, personal expenses and headphones are also not included.

Who Is This Loire Valley Day Trip For?

The tour is well suited to first-time visitors to France, history and architecture enthusiasts, couples, cultural travellers and anyone hoping to see several Loire Valley castles in limited time.

It is less suitable for visitors who prefer slow-paced exploration, have difficulty walking for long periods, require wheelchair access or want several hours for each garden and interior.

TourBookGo verdict

The main advantage of this Loire Valley castle tour is seeing three landmarks with transport and admission organised from Paris.

This trip is worthwhile for travellers who value convenience and want a broad introduction to the Loire Valley in one day. Bear in mind that the pace is brisk and time at each castle is limited.
