Step by Step
Your adventure begins in Amboise, where a vehicle will take you in comfort to the Château de Chenonceau, famous for its structure built on the Cher river. There, you will tour the gardens of Catherine de Medici and Diane de Poitiers, two Renaissance rooms full of history and colour, while your English-speaking guide tells you anecdotes about the ladies who lived in the château. You will admire rooms decorated with antiques, tapestries and frescoes that keep alive the spirit of the French court.
After soaking up the charm of Chenonceau, you will head to the Château de Villesavin, where you will enjoy a lunch served by a local countess. You will taste traditional dishes and regional products in a unique setting, surrounded by stately rooms and private gardens. This gastronomic moment adds an authentic and exclusive touch to the experience.
After refuelling, you will continue to the Château de Chambord, one of the most ambitious constructions of the Renaissance. Here, your guide will show you the main rooms and explain the details of its famous double helix staircase, its defensive towers and the hidden symbols of the monarchy. The vast park and sculpted façades will take you back to the royal grandeur of Francis I.
It's a perfect day out for lovers of history, architecture and French gastronomy, all organised so that all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself.
