What you can expect

Enjoy a small group half-day trip from Tours to the beautiful Château de Chenonceau in the heart of the Loire Valley. Experience a guided visit of the interior of one of the most elegant Chateaus of the Loire.

Arriving in the Loire Valley, your small group will reach the Chateau de Chenonceau. The “Chateau des Dames”, bridge built across the Cher, is famous for the great feminine figures who lived in it (Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medici) and for the beauty of its Renaissance gardens.

After your arrival at Chenonceau castle, begin your tour with your guide. Chenonceau is home to an outstanding collection of furniture, tapestries and paintings that included artworks from Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Loo, Murillo, Veronese, Poussin, Van Dyck and many more.

During your tour, you will also visit the highlights of the castle including Diane de Poitiers' bedroom, the Green Study, the Gallery and the kitchens.

After the visit, you will have some free time to explore the gardens.

We will then head back to Tours.
