OUR SELECTION OF VISITS

First day

  • Château de Chaumont - Loire and its magnificent gardens

Second day

  • Château de Chenonceau: Built in 1513 by Katherine Briçonnet, successively embellished by Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Médicis, and Madame Dupin, Chenonceau owes part of its charm to women, earning it the name "Château des Dames" (Castle of the Ladies).
  • Wine tasting in the cellars of Monmousseau. This is an essential site for oenotourism in the Loire Valley. Located just a few minutes from the Château de Chenonceau, you'll start your outdoor visit with an exceptional viewpoint over the Cher River and the famous "Valley of the Kings," which was also the largest site of troglodyte habitat in France! Then, you'll enter a universe of lights, a labyrinth of walls adorned with a myriad of stunning works of art! You'll taste wines with fine bubbles from Touraine.
  • Château de Chambord: Considered the largest and most majestic of the Loire Castles, this Renaissance gem was built at the request of François I for use as a hunting lodge. Wine tasting of a Loire wine in a cellar selected by us.
