The "Chateaux de la Loire" in 1 day and at the Best price
Departing from the center of Paris by minibus, you will discover and visit three of the most prestigious and magnificent Loire Castles: the Chenonceau castle, the Chambord Castle and the Cheverny Castle. A wonderful trip to visit the masterpieces of the Renaissance and French heritage.
Every spring, for nine years, the tulip has reigned in three of the gardens at Cheverny Castle.
This year, the number of bulbs doubles: over 500,000 bulbs were planted in the autumn, notably to create not one, but two immense ribbons of tulips. A guaranteed wonder!
Imagine this spectacular ribbon: 500,000 tulips on 2 ribbons, 250 meters long and 12 meters wide... A range of reds, pinks, yellows, oranges, mauves, and whites. A true natural work of art, which ends in the water feature of the castle's park.
Depending on weather conditions, this magnificent spectacle can be enjoyed from late March to mid-April!
During the Easter holidays, come and discover the domain specially decorated for the occasion.
In the castle, the table in the large dining room has a fantastic Easter decor, but you will also be amazed by the other rooms where rabbits, hens and eggs take possession of the premises.
Come and admire these decorations from April 1 until May 8, 2023!

LE CHÂTEAU DE CHEVERNY
The Cheverny Castle is the private property of the Vibraye family. During this visit, you will admire its wonderful 17th century furniture. Before leaving, take a walk through the gardens and discover the kennels. The castle is also well known for its inspirational setting on Hergé's famous Moulinsart castle in the Tintin comic book.
You will finish your day with the visit of the Castle of Chambord
LE CHÂTEAU DE CHAMBORD
Considered as the largest and most majestic castle of the Loire valley, Chambord Castle was commissioned as a hunting lodge by François I. However, he only spent 42 days of his 32-year reign in this royal residence. The 365 chimneys, 440 rooms, 14 staircases and 800 turrets and capitals give an insight of the magnificent period architecture. The main attraction remains the intricate "double revolution" staircase designed by Leonardo de Vinci.
