During this excursion you will visit majestic Loire Valley castles, masterpieces of the Renaissance and birthplaces of major moments in French history. You’ll discover Chambord, the grandiose castle of King François 1st with its famous double helix staircase and the charming Château de Chenonceau, a remarkable building through its architecture, history and lovely gardens around it. And to complete your visit, you can discover the Loire wine heritage through a wine tasting.

Built on the site of an old mill, Chenonceau Castle stands on the side of the River Cher. The roots of the Castle lie in the 11th century, and after that tells a chequered story of malicious fire, destruction, rebuilding, repossession, disputed ownership, periods of habitation and abandonment, use as a hospital during World War I, and as an escape route during the Second World War. Now privately owned and faithfully restored to its former glory, Chenonceau displays elements of late Gothic and early Renaissance architecture.

Chambord Chateau is arguably one of the most recognisable chateaux in the world due to its architectural blend of medieval and Renaissance design, giving it a quintessentially French appearance. Chambord is the most typical representation of a castle with a keep, corner towers, and a moat. It is the largest Chateau in the Loire region and boasts 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases.

Instead of a tale of two cities, this tour will take you on a tale of two Chateaux! You will be enlightened, entertained and impressed by your day in Chateaux Country.
