Discover iconic castles on this bus day trip from Paris to the Loire Valley and explore the Castle of Chambord on a self-guided tour. Have free time in the charming town of Bloise and visit Chenonceau Castle for a self guided tour and enjoy some local wine.

From Paris, head to Chambord Castle. Disney fans will find this castle’s turrets familiar; it was the inspiration for the castle in “Beauty and the Beast.” Though originally conceived as a royal hunting lodge, it was built to a scale that must be seen to be believed.

Learn all about the castle’s captivating history from your guide before entering the castle. You can then visit the inside at your own pace on a self-guided visit. Climb a staircase supposedly designed by Da Vinci, enjoy spectacular turret-framed rooftop views, and glimpse wild deer around the grounds.

Having worked up an appetite, get back on the bus and continue on to the next stop: the quaint town of Blois. Take some free time to enjoy lunch (at your own expense) in one of the restaurants located around the beautiful and vibrant Square Louis XII.
Last but not least is the elegant Chenonceau Castle. Before your visit, indulge indulge in a complementary wine tasting in the castle’s vaulted wine cellar. Then, carry on with a visit of the chapel, bedrooms, and magnificent vaulted kitchens are still furnished and decorated from times gone by, showing off the castle’s many sweeping stone carvings.

Don’t miss the impressive main hall, which spans the river Cher, or the gardens cultivated by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici — 2 of the famous owners that earned Chenonceau the nickname “the Ladies’ Castle.”
Your tour leader will entertain you between stops with insights and stories about the countryside and the nobility who once reigned over the region.
Three uniquely beautiful French castles and a complementary wine tasting, all amid the stunning scenery of the Loire Valley — this memorable day trip from Paris will delight all the senses.
