1Chateau de Chenonceau
Model of the Renaissance traditions, the Chenonceau Castle is an architectural masterpiece. Known as the "Château des Dames", five women played a part to the interior decoration, making Chenonceau one of the most romantic castle in the Loire valley. The guide will introduce you to the history of the castle before your free time to stroll at your leisure through the sumptuous gardens.

2Chateau de Cheverny
Next comes Cheverny, a refined, welcoming château known for its beautifully preserved interiors and classic French elegance. It offers a different vibe—less monumental than Chambord, but wonderfully “lived-in” and polished. Cheverny is also famous in popular culture: it inspired Hergé’s Moulinsart in the Tintin comics.

3Chateau de Chambord
Your final stop is the Loire Valley’s most majestic showpiece: Chambord, the largest and most spectacular château in the region. This is pure Renaissance grandeur—towers, terraces, and a skyline that looks like a fairytale city built on a roof. Inside, you’ll explore freely and discover the château’s most famous feature: the intricate double-helix staircase, often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Chambord is about scale and ambition—take your time to appreciate how monumental and visionary this place feels. It’s the perfect final chapter of the day—charming, cultured, and easy to enjoy before heading back to Paris.
