[description] => <p><b>Embark on an Unforgettable Journey through Loire Valley Chateaux: Expert Guided Tour</b></p><p>Join us for a remarkable day as we pick you up in front of the Tourism Office in Tours, ready to explore the enchanting Loire Valley and its renowned castles. Meet your knowledgeable English-speaking driver/guide, an expert in local history, especially the Loire Valley chateaux. Once acquainted, your guide will provide an overview of the day's program and itinerary. Step into our comfortable, premium air-conditioned vehicle and embark on the captivating Loire Valley Chateau Route.</p><p><b>Morning visit of Chenonceau Castle</b></p><p>This morning, tour to the magnificent Chateau de Chenonceau, nestled in the breathtaking Loire Valley. Known as the "Chateau des Dames," this iconic bridge spanning the Cher River enchants visitors with its rich history and Renaissance gardens, once graced by remarkable female figures such as Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici.</p><p>Originally dating back to the 13th century, the Chateau suffered destruction by fire before being rebuilt and eventually acquired by King Francis I to settle a debt. Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of Henri II, made her mark on the Chateau, transforming it and adding the arched bridge that gracefully traverses the River Cher. However, upon the king's demise, ownership shifted to Catherine de Medici, who expelled Diane de Poitiers. </p><p>During Catherine de Medici's tenure, the Chateau underwent extensive renovations and embellishments, and became renowned for hosting lavish nighttime festivities. In 1560, the first fireworks display in France dazzled the skies above this very site.</p><p>Following Catherine de Medici's passing, the Chateau changed hands multiple times, including ownership by Louise Dupin, famed for hosting a prominent literary salon frequented by luminaries like Voltaire, Montesquieu, Buffon, and Marivaux. The esteemed philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau served as Louise Dupin's secretary and tutored her son.</p><p>In more recent history, the castle was acquired in 1913 by the Menier family, renowned chocolatiers, who continue to cherish and preserve the Chateau de Chenonceau to this day.</p><p>Upon your arrival at Chenonceau castle, immerse yourself in a guided tour that unveils a captivating collection of furniture, tapestries, and paintings, including masterpieces by Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Loo, Murillo, Veronese, Poussin, Van Dyck, and more. Explore the castle's highlights, such as Diane de Poitiers' bedroom, the Green Study, the Gallery, and the kitchens. After the guided visit, you'll have free time to wander through the enchanting gardens.</p><p><b>Free time for lunch (at own expense)</b></p><p>After your morning visit, your guide will take you to a charming village in the surrounding area where you will have time for lunch (at own expense). Your guide will be happy to make recommendations depending on the type of meal you are looking for. </p><p><b>Afternoon </b><b>Guided Exploration of Chambord Castle</b></p><p>After lunch, venture to Château de Chambord, our second stop on this Loire Valley castle tour. Regarded as one of the most magnificent chateaux in the region, Chambord awaits your discovery. Enjoy a scenic drive of approximately one hour, arriving at the breathtaking Château de Chambord. This UNESCO World Heritage site has captivated visitors for centuries.</p><p>Nestled in the heart of the Sologne region, Chateau de Chambord was commissioned by King Francis I (François Ier) in the early 16th century as a hunting lodge. It was never intended as a permanent residence, but rather a grand showcase of the king's power, designed to impress foreign visitors and ambassadors. The castle's architecture exemplifies the Italian Renaissance style favored during that era.</p><p>The castle features a central keep with four imposing bastion towers at each corner. With over 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases, Chambord is a testament to architectural grandeur. Its central axis boasts the famous double helix staircase, believed to be inspired by the ingenious mind of Leonardo da Vinci. Ascending three floors, the two helices never intersect, with natural light illuminating their ascent from a lighthouse-like structure atop the castle. </p><p>Don't miss the ornate roof, a distinctive feature that sets Château de Chambord apart. Take a stroll along the top level, marveling at the meticulous masonry work and enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding area.</p><p>Interestingly, King Francis I never witnessed the completion of the castle. It was under the reign of King Louis XIV (the Sun King) that Château de Chambord reached its full splendor. Maintaining such a colossal structure proved challenging over the years, and after passing through various private hands, the French State became the sole owner in 1930.</p><p>Upon arrival, follow your expert guide on a captivating tour of the castle. Lasting approximately 1.5 hours, the tour will lead you through the main rooms, unveil the iconic double spiral staircase, and ascend to the terraces for breathtaking vistas. Afterward, enjoy some free time to further explore the wonders of Château de Chambord at your own pace.</p><p>As the tour concludes, we'll return to Tours, leaving you with lasting memories of the remarkable Chateau de Chenonceau & Chambord and their storied past.</p> [terms] => [advertisedPrice] => 165.00000 [quantityRequiredMin] => 1 [quantityRequiredMax] => 8 [latitude] => 47.391151 [longitude] => 0.69379 [confirmMode] => AUTOCONFIRM [dateUpdated] => 2026-02-17 15:28:48 [product_code_compta] => 706136 [product_package] => [product_seo_title] => Loire Valley Day Trip Chambord & Chenonceau Castles from Tours [product_seo_desc] => Embark on a captivating full-day tour from Tours to Chambord & Chenonceau castles.

[description] => Discover the Palace of Versailles, the residence of the ‘Sun King’ and the home of Claude Monet, ‘Prince of the Impressionists’ in just one day. Make your way to the meeting point, close to the Eiffel Tower, to meet your guide and small group of up to 16 people in time for an 8.30 am departure time. After a 1-hour journey to Giverny, Traveling aboard an air-conditioned minibus, you will first visit the idyllic home of Claude Monet on the edge of Normandy. The leader of the Impressionist School lived here from 1883 to 1926, the colorful décor and pink brick facade are an intimate reminder of its former life. The precious collection of Japanese engravings is displayed in several rooms, hung in the manner chosen by the master of Giverny himself. Claude Monet’s property at Giverny, left by his son to the Académie des Beaux-arts in 1966, has, after completion of large-scale restoration work, become the Claude Monet Foundation, inaugurated in 1980. The huge Nymphéas studio, a stone’s throw from the house, has also been restored and contains the Foundation’s Shop. The gardens have been replanted as they once were and offer visitors the “painting from nature” which Claude Monet’s contemporaries considered to be one of his masterpieces. The rectangular Clos Normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around brilliantly colored shrubs, lies before the house and studios, offering from Spring to Autumn the palette of varying colors to the painter-gardener who was “ecstatic about flowers”. Lastly, the Water Garden, formed by a tributary of the Epte, lies further away, shaded by weeping willows. With its famous Japanese Bridge, its wistarias, azaleas, and its pond, it has once more become that casket of sky and water that inspired the pictorial universe of the water lilies. <p>You will enjoy a fabulous 3-course lunch at the “Moulin de Fourges” restaurant, a 200-year-old mill. The architecture of this listed site, dating back to the 18th century, draws its inspiration from the hamlet of Marie-Antoinette at Versailles. It offers a unique setting with its rural grounds and spacious terrace on the banks of the Epte. In the afternoon, we will take you back to the Golden Age of France with a visit to the Palace of Versailles. The chateau and gardens count among the most prestigious monuments of the world’s artistic heritage and are certainly the finest and most complete achievement of 17th-century French art. Former residence of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV, this sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The audio-guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel, and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery that boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows, and crystal chandeliers. At the end of your visit, there is free time to discover the famous gardens à la française; a 2,000-acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains.</p><em></em><p><b>Please Note:   </b>                                                                 </p><p class="wysiwyg-text-align-left"><em>The <b>"Musical Gardens"</b> show takes place every summer in the Gardens of Versailles Palace.

[description] => <p>Now is your chance to visit the “Garden of France”. With over 100 chateaux to choose from, the Loire Valley is a rich plethora of Renaissance and Enlightenment architectural Masterpieces, therefore we have designed this tour to give you a unique view of the best castles that this magical region has to offer: the majestic Chambord; the ethereally beautiful Chenonceau and the powerfully forged Amboise. In the comfort of one of our minibuses your driver-guide will take you to the Loire, regaling you with anecdotes of regional history, architectural features you will see on your castle visits and about the people who had lived in them. Once you arrive at the Châteaux you will be given free time to explore all three at your own pace. Chambord is the most majestic of the Châteaux you will see, boasting massive medieval towers perfectly blended with Renaissance elegance. Set in 13,000 acres of parkland this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the Château, attributed to Leonardo Di Vinci is simply mind-blowing. Amboise, with its spectacular view over the Loire, is famous for being the last resting place of one of history’s most famous men: Leonardo Da Vinci and with its massive gothic defensive features it evokes that bygone era of knights on horseback. Then you will be given some free time in the Village at the foot of the Castle to wander and enjoy your Lunch break after a wine tasting. Chenonceau, above all stands out as the most beautiful of the Châteaux of the Loire as it extends with infinite grace over the waters of the river Cher. With its ornately carved decoration and history of romance and rivalry, this Château lives up to its passionate reputation and has been seducing visitors for hundreds of years. In the winter why not take advantage of the open wood fires which instantly transport you back to the days when these three castles where inhabited by some of France’s most famous Renaissance Kings and Queens; wander through the myriad of tapestry-covered rooms, down corridors lined with royal portraits and up the spiraling staircases which make this architectural period so exciting. Once summer arrives these chateaux come alive as their beautifully manicured gardens come into bloom which you can stroll around at your leisure. Chenonceau is especially famous for its Renaissance sculptured gardens so prized by Catherine de Medici. Your full-day tour ends with return transport to the Original Departure Point in Paris.<b> Highlights:</b></p><ul><li>Day trip to Loire Valley castles from Paris</li><li>Visit the Loire Valley, a UNESCO-listed region famous for Renaissance castles and gardens </li><li>Explore the châteaux of Ambroise, Chenonceau, and Chambord </li><li>Transportation by comfortable, air-conditioned minivan </li></ul><p><b>The price includes:</b> </p><ul><li>Transport by air-conditioned vehicle</li><li>Visit Amboise Castle</li><li>Visit Chenonceau Castle and Gardens</li><li>Visit Chambord Castle</li><li>Driver guide</li><li>Small-group tour (Max 8 people)</li></ul><p><b>The price does not include:</b> </p><ul><li>Food and drinks, unless specified</li><li>Hotel pickup and drop-off</li><li>Gratuities (optional) </li></ul><p></p><p><b>Meeting Point:</b> </p><ul><li>The Meeting Point will be in front of "CLUB le DUPLEX" Address: 2, bis avenue Foch (Club le Duplex) - 75116 Paris Meeting Time: 6:40 am --- Departure Time: 6:50 am</li></ul><p></p><p></p><p></p> [terms] => [advertisedPrice] => 304.00000 [quantityRequiredMin] => 1 [quantityRequiredMax] => 8 [latitude] => 48.873662091186 [longitude] => 2.2926427999306 [confirmMode] => AUTOCONFIRM [dateUpdated] => 2025-09-10 16:33:14 [product_code_compta] => 704540 [product_package] => [product_seo_title] => [product_seo_desc] => [product_shore_excursion] => N [product_roundtrip] => 0 [product_knowBefore] => <ul> <li>Instant booking confirmation</li> <li>Tour requires minimum 2 passengers (adults) to operate</li> <li>In case minimum numbers are not reached we will offer to reschedule or refund your tour</li> <li>Tour is operated in English</li> <li>Small group option, maximum 8 persons</li> <li>Tour is not wheelchair accessible</li> <li>Prices are per person</li> <li>Currency is in Euros</li> </ul> <br />Important Information : The François I wing of Chambord is closed from July 2025 for an indefinite period due to restoration work.
