Discover the breathtaking castles of the Loire Valley on a one-day excursion from Paris! This tour will take you by bus to three of the region’s most iconic spots: Chambord Castle, Amboise Castle, and the charming medieval town of Orleans. Enjoy a journey filled with history, majestic architecture, and unforgettable landscapes.

Your adventure begins early in the morning, departing from Paris and heading to the first stop: Chambord Castle, the largest and most spectacular of the Loire Valley castles. Renowned for its magnificent Renaissance architecture and the iconic double-helix staircase, Chambord is a 16th-century masterpiece surrounded by a vast natural park where deer and other wildlife can often be spotted. You’ll have time to explore the castle's grand halls, take in the views from its terraces, and, if time allows, stroll through its beautiful gardens and forest to capture some stunning photos.

Next, you’ll head to Amboise Castle, a true Renaissance gem perched on a hill overlooking the Loire River. Amboise is not only known for its castle but also for being the place where Leonardo da Vinci lived and died. His tomb is located in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert within the castle. The castle's terraces offer spectacular views of the river and the picturesque town below, making it a must-see for art and history lovers. After visiting the castle, you’ll have free time to explore the charming village of Amboise, filled with historic houses, quaint alleys, and local shops. You can also visit Clos Lucé, Da Vinci's final residence, where you’ll discover his workshop and numerous models of his inventions. For lunch, relax with a riverside picnic by the Loire or enjoy a meal at one of the town’s cozy restaurants serving local dishes and regional wines.

The final stop is Orleans, a city rich in medieval history and closely linked to Joan of Arc, France’s national heroine. Stroll through Orleans' charming cobblestone streets and visit the majestic Orleans Cathedral. If time permits, you can also explore the Joan of Arc Museum, which highlights her remarkable life and contributions to French history.

After a day filled with architectural wonders, breathtaking landscapes, and captivating history, you’ll return to Paris in the evening, carrying unforgettable memories of this beautiful region.
