Explore the stunning castles of the Loire Valley on a one-day getaway from Paris! This tour takes you by bus to three of the region’s most renowned sites: Chambord Castle, Amboise Castle, and the charming medieval town of Orleans. Experience a day full of rich history, magnificent architecture, and breathtaking scenery.

Your journey begins early in the morning, departing from Paris and heading to the first destination: Chambord Castle, the largest and most impressive of all the Loire Valley castles. Famous for its striking Renaissance architecture and the unique double-helix staircase, Chambord is a 16th-century architectural masterpiece, surrounded by an expansive natural park where deer and other wildlife are often seen. You’ll have time to wander through its grand halls, take in the panoramic views from its terraces, and, if time allows, enjoy a peaceful walk through the castle’s gardens and forest, perfect for capturing stunning photos.

Next, you will visit Amboise Castle, a true Renaissance treasure perched on a hill with sweeping views of the Loire River. Amboise is not only famous for its castle but also for being the final home of Leonardo da Vinci, whose tomb lies in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert within the castle grounds. The terraces of the castle provide incredible views of the river and the picturesque town below, making it a must-visit for art and history enthusiasts. After your visit, enjoy free time to explore the delightful village of Amboise, filled with historic homes, quaint alleys, and charming local boutiques. You might also choose to visit Clos Lucé, Da Vinci’s final residence, where you can explore his workshop and see models of his ingenious inventions. For lunch, relax with a picnic by the river, or dine in one of the town's inviting restaurants, savoring local cuisine and regional wines.

The final stop is Orleans, a city steeped in medieval history and closely tied to the legacy of Joan of Arc, France’s national heroine. As you explore Orleans, walk along its cobblestone streets and visit the impressive Orleans Cathedral. If time permits, you can also delve deeper into history by visiting the Joan of Arc Museum, which recounts her extraordinary life and her role in French history.

After a day of exploring architectural marvels, picturesque landscapes, and fascinating history, you’ll return to Paris in the evening, bringing back unforgettable memories of this enchanting region.
