Come and experience an exceptional day in the heart of the Loire Valley in France by discovering three of the greatest castles of the Loire: Chenonceau, Chambord and Cheverny through the commentary of our audio guide (via an application downloaded to your cell phone ).
Board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach to Chambord. As soon as you approach the castle, you will be amazed by the majesty of the building that rises before you. Its impressive architecture makes it the largest of the Loire castles. You will then quickly enter the interior thanks to a priority access. You will be able to walk around some of the castle's rooms and you will take the famous "double revolution staircase" to reach the large panoramic terrace. You will enjoy a superb view of the park while listening to comments on the history of the castle, built during the reign of François I with the participation of Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century.
Then discover Chenonceau. You will drive through magnificent landscapes characteristic of the Loire Valley and will contemplate the fields as far as the eye can see and will go along the Loire river at times offering a serenity to the journey. You will then drive along a magnificent tree-lined driveway that offers an incredible view of the castle. The exterior setting with the building seeming to emerge from the water gives a magical dimension to the castle. You will enjoy discovering the castle of Chenonceau and contemplate the furnished and flowered rooms, the tapestries and the period paintings. You will discover many stories and anecdotes about this castle and the importance of the female presence which testifies to the French art of living.
After this visit of Chenonceau, you will have free time to stroll in the remarkable gardens along the Cher River and have lunch around the castle. Our guide will tell you where you can have lunch. You will be invited to meet the guide directly at the bus parking lot to leave for Cheverny.
