Itinerary

Discover the Loire Valley on a three day escape that starts and ends in Paris. Travel by minivan to grand châteaux and storybook towns – expect to see Chambord’s vast Renaissance masterpiece and Blois with its royal history, then enjoy a cellar tour and tasting at a family winery. You’ll visit Chenonceau straddling the River Cher and stroll its elegant gardens, explore Amboise with Leonardo da Vinci’s legacy at Clos Lucé, and unwind at a château hotel. On the final day you’ll admire Villandry’s celebrated gardens, sample local wines, and step inside Chaumont before the easy journey back to Paris.

day 1Discover Chambord & Blois

Paris – Chambord – Blois – Loire Valley. We collect you from your hotel in Paris at 07:30. It is 180 km to the Loire Valley via the motorway – around 2.5 hours in your comfortable, air conditioned Mercedes minivan. En route, your guide introduces the Loire châteaux and their place in French heritage.
From 10:00–12:00 you visit the Château de Chambord. Celebrated for its French Renaissance architecture, it was built between 1519 and 1547 under King Francis I and is the largest château in the valley, with 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces and 84 staircases. Its open double spiral staircase is a highlight – the two spirals rise side by side without meeting – and may have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci.
At 12:00 you drive to Blois – about 20 minutes for 17 km – arriving around 12:30. You have time for lunch until 14:00. From 14:00–15:30 you explore the Royal Château of Blois in the centre of town. Once a residence of several French kings, it is also where Joan of Arc came in 1429 to be blessed by the Archbishop of Reims before departing to campaign against the English. The château brings together four distinct architectural styles and contains 564 rooms, including 100 bedrooms each with a fireplace, and 75 staircases.
At 15:30 you continue to the Plou et Fils winery – about 30 minutes for 30 km. From 16:00–16:45 you tour the cellars and enjoy a guided tasting at this long‑established family estate, learning about local winemaking before sampling at least seven wines – red, rosé and white.
You depart at 16:45 for Domaine de la Tortinière, Château Hôtel Val de Loire – about 45 minutes for 40 km – arriving around 17:30 for check‑in. You then have free time for the evening.
