You will walk through the different rooms at your own pace and enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the estate from the top of the castle terrace, accessible via the famous double spiral staircase. As you climb these steps, you will understand the technical skill of Leonardo da Vinci, who was the first painter, architect and engineer of King Francis I. On the three floors of the basement you will observe the numerous details that contributed to the construction of this building. Depending on how much time you have left, you can walk around the park and admire the view of the castle.

Then you will set off to discover the Château de Chenonceau. You will visit this architectural masterpiece on your own in a magical setting. Discover its complex history, marked by the different women who built it over the years. This is why the castle is also called "Castle of the Ladies", as evidenced by the refined decoration of each room. For example, the famous Queen Catherine de Medici had the Florentine-inspired gallery built on the Cher River.
Our guide will suggest places to have lunch before getting back on the road. You will meet the bus for a journey of approximately 1.5 hours to Cheverny. In this stately home, occupied by the same family for over 600 years, you will discover the castle and its extraordinary interiors. Outside, complete your visit with the park and its 6 thematic gardens including an orchard "le Jardin Sucré". Also known for hunting with hounds, you can see its rich kennel which houses around a hundred dogs.
The bus will depart around 5pm for an expected arrival in Paris around 8pm.
