Private Loire Valley Castles Tour from Paris – Chambord, Chenonceau & Cheverny

Château de Chambord

Your day begins at Château de Chambord, the largest and most spectacular castle in the Loire Valley. Built by King Francis I during the French Renaissance, Chambord is famous for its extravagant architecture and legendary double-helix staircase, often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.

Explore the vast rooms, admire the hundreds of spires and chimneys, and take in breathtaking views from the rooftop terraces overlooking the surrounding forest.

Château de Chenonceau

Next, visit the elegant Château de Chenonceau, one of the most photographed castles in France. Gracefully spanning the Cher River, this fairytale château is known as the “Ladies’ Castle,” shaped by powerful women throughout history.

Stroll through its refined interiors, flower-filled gardens, and galleries built over the water. Chenonceau is also famous for hosting the first fireworks display in France.

Château de Cheverny

Your final stop is Château de Cheverny, a beautifully preserved 17th-century château renowned for its richly furnished interiors and manicured gardens. Less crowded yet exceptionally refined, Cheverny offers an authentic glimpse into aristocratic life.

Free time for lunch is available during the day (not included), either near Chambord or Chenonceau, depending on your pace and preferences.

You’ll return comfortably to Paris in the evening.
