What To Expect

Your day trip to the Loire Valley begins with pickup at your Paris hotel by your private guide.

Head out of the city and into the picturesque countryside to visit romantic castles that evoke the glamour and grandeur of French aristocracy in the Renaissance era. Follow in the footsteps of nobility as you explore three estates known for their size, architecture, and previous inhabitants.

At Château d'Amboise, once home to French royalty, take in the 15th-century furniture collection. Then visit Château de Chenonceau, a lavish castle on the River Cher featuring quintessential Renaissance architecture. Finally visit the grand dame, Château de Chambord, a UNESCO World Heritage site once home to King Francois I, as well as Leonardo da Vinci.

Note: It is possible you may visit different castles such as Château de Blois or Château de Cheverny, in certain circumstances, but it will be a total of three.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
