The Journey

1

Château de Chenonceau

Cross the Cher River to discover Château de Chenonceau, the 'Ladies' Château,' a Renaissance masterpiece shaped by the tastes and influences of five remarkable women. Wander through lavishly decorated rooms and stroll through the exquisite gardens, each reflecting the personalities of its female caretakers, including Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici. Experience the romance and architectural beauty that make Chenonceau a true gem of the Loire Valley.

Château de Chambord

Behold Château de Chambord, the largest and most recognizable château in the Loire Valley, a monument to François I's ambition. Explore its iconic 'double helix' staircase, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and marvel at the intricate design of its 440 rooms and countless chimneys. Although initially conceived as a hunting lodge, Chambord embodies the grandeur of the French Renaissance and offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the French monarchy.

Château de Cheverny

Visit the privately owned Château de Cheverny, a splendid example of 17th-century French architecture. Admire the exquisite period furniture and explore the beautifully maintained gardens. Don't miss the kennels, home to a pack of hunting hounds, and discover the castle's connection to pop culture as the inspiration for Marlinspike Hall (Château de Moulinsart) in the Tintin comic books, adding a touch of whimsical charm to your visit.
