Travel independently by high-speed train from Paris to Tours, then explore Chenonceau and Chambord with a private Loire Valley guide, premium vehicle transfers, guided château visits, free time, and return to Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station.
The more you are, the less you pay!
Explore two defining Renaissance châteaux on a private Loire Valley tour by train from Paris. Travel independently by high-speed TGV train from Montparnasse to Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, near Tours, where your English-speaking local guide meets you. Travel by premium air-conditioned vehicle to Château de Chambord, renowned for its vast Renaissance architecture and celebrated double-helix staircase linked to Leonardo da Vinci.
After a guided visit and free time for personal discovery, pause for lunch at your own expense before continuing to Château de Chenonceau, the elegant “Ladies’ Castle” spanning the Cher River. Explore its furnished rooms and gallery with your guide, then return to Saint-Pierre-des-Corps for your train back to Paris.
This experience is ideal for travelers staying in Paris who want to discover the Loire Valley without a full-day road journey from the capital. It suits history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and couples or small private groups drawn to the elegant river setting of Chenonceau and the ambitious Renaissance design of Chambord. The combination of high-speed rail, a private local guide, and premium vehicle touring is particularly appealing to guests who want an efficient, independently arranged train journey paired with expert local discovery once they arrive in the Loire Valley.
