Presentation

Whether you're a history buff, a lover of remarkable gardens, or simply looking for a day trip to the heart of the Loire Valley, this excursion promises a break filled with discovery and wonder!

9:30 AM
Departing from the Tourist Office, board a comfortable minibus for a day exploring three iconic Loire Valley landmarks: the castles of Chaumont-sur-Loire and Cheverny, and stroll through the old town of Amboise.

Be captivated by…

…the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, majestically overlooking the Loire River. Between its castle, a blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture, its historic stables, and its inspiring gardens, this unique site invites you on a journey through heritage and artistic creation.

Lunch at a restaurant in Chaumont-sur-Loire.

Then, on to…

…the Château de Cheverny, famous for its elegance and remarkably well-preserved furnishings. Inhabited by the same family for centuries, this château with its sumptuous decor is said to have inspired the famous Marlinspike Hall in the Tintin adventures.

Next, enjoy exploring the old town of Amboise, a charming Loire Valley town with picturesque streets. Stroll through its lively historic center, admire its ancient houses, and let yourself be carried away by the unique atmosphere of this royal town, intimately linked to Leonardo da Vinci and the kings of France.

Je n'ai pas été satisfaite du déjeuner à la pâtisserie Bigot : prestation très sommaire et accueil à la limite du désagréable. Dommage car la Journée Royale dans son ensemble et particulièrement le transport en minibus étaient parfaits
