Loire Valley Castles in One Day from Paris
The Loire Valley is inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Valley includes more than 50 beautiful castles. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries it was the residence of kings. Moreover, it was the scene of an unprecendented artistic revival. Leonardo da Vinci and other artists of that time contributed to that. During your tour in this region of arts and pleasure, you will see its beautiful gardens and castles.
The driver will pick you up in the hotel lobby in Paris, and you visit three most famous Loire castles. You will visit three Loire castles. Emblematic of the Renaissance, these three castles (Chenonceau, Chambord and Chaverny) differ from each other in its architecture, history and gardens design. The visit of each castle takes about one hour. The guide will tell you about the history of the castle and will show you its gardens. You will decide with your guide to which castle to make a longer visit. Besites that, you can choose to visit two castles only and enjoy the tour at a slower pace. You will choose on your own!
You will have an opportunity to dine at a cosy restaurant (not included in price). Our guide will suggest a menu to fully explore the French “art de vivre” (art of life).
