A full day from Paris through the Loire Valley — Chambord, Chenonceau and a tasting of the region's wines with a knowledgeable local guide. The Loire is where French kings went to show off. Chambord was François I's hunting lodge — 440 rooms, a double-helix staircase attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and a roofline that looks like a small city floating above the forest. Chenonceau is the other extreme: intimate, feminine, built and defended by a succession of remarkable women, and stretched across the River Cher on a gallery of arches that reflects perfectly in the water. Between the two, we stop for a Loire wine tasting — Vouvray, Chinon, Sancerre depending on the season and the cellar — so the day ends with something you can taste as well as photograph. It runs in a comfortable vehicle with a guide who stays with you all day. No coach convoys, no rushed queues, no audio-headset shuffling.
Château de Chambord is a majestic Renaissance castle located in the heart of the Loire Valley, France. Renowned for its iconic double-helix staircase, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, and intricate architectural details, it was originally built as a hunting lodge for King Francis I. Its enchanting beauty has captured the imagination of many, including Disney animators, who used it as the inspiration for the Beast's castle in "Beauty and the Beast." A visit to Chambord offers the opportunity to explore its grand interiors, gardens, and discover the fascinating history and legends associated with this remarkable castle. Remember to take advantage of the restaurants and shops in Chambord for lunch which could vary from $10-$30

Amboise, a historic city nestled along the Loire River, played a pivotal role in shaping the Renaissance style. As the first royal fortress in the region to undergo a transformation into a Renaissance château, Amboise set the precedent for this architectural style. The château served as a home to the renowned Leonardo da Vinci for the final two years of his life. In a testament to his legacy, Amboise is the final resting place for the legendary artist, where you can find his tomb.
