Your day trip from Paris begins at a central location, where you'll board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach with your expert English-speaking guide. First stop: Château de Chambord, the largest castle in the valley and inspiration for Beauty and the Beast. After a guided tour, enjoy free time to explore, climb to the roof, or stroll the grounds.

Next, explore the town of Blois, home to the stunning Château de Blois. You'll have two hours of free time to stroll the Gothic streets, enjoy French food, or visit the Royal Castle, known for its unique blend of architectural styles and rich royal history.

Finally, visit Château de Chenonceau for its white, red, and dessert wines. Then tour the elegant "Ladies' Château," famous for its architecture, historic interiors, and beautiful gardens - including those of Diane de Poitier and Catherine de Medici, plus a fruit and vegetable garden that once fed the château residents.
