Embark on a day trip from Paris to the enchanting Loire Valley, where you'll explore iconic castles and delightful medieval towns. This guided tour whisks you away by coach to three remarkable destinations: Chambord Castle, Amboise Castle, and the historic city of Orleans.
Begin your journey at Chambord, the grandest of the Loire castles. Be awed by its majestic Renaissance architecture, the distinctive double-helix staircase, and vast grounds teeming with wildlife. Wander through its regal halls, soak up panoramic terrace views, and capture photos of the verdant surroundings.
Next, you'll visit the Amboise Castle and the Chapel of Saint-Hubert, which houses Leonardo da Vinci's tomb. Savour the castle’s striking vistas and meander through the charming village below, brimming with historic lanes and local boutiques. Be sure not to miss Clos Lucé, Da Vinci's former residence, which showcases his workshop and models of his inventions.
Lastly, make your way to Orleans, a city steeped in medieval allure and linked to Joan of Arc. Amble along its cobblestone streets, pay a visit to the imposing Orleans Cathedral, and, if time allows, delve into the Joan of Arc Museum. After a day filled with history, awe-inspiring architecture, and unforgettable landscapes, you'll return to Paris carrying lasting memories of the Loire Valley.
