What if a day in the Loire Valley, between UNESCO World Heritage castles and exquisite local wines, became the highlight of your stay in Paris? This exclusive trip will enchant you with the charms of the Loire Valley, its majestic Renaissance castles, and its delicious wines.

Your day begins with your guide picking you up at your hotel in Paris and driving you to the Loire Valley while you relax and savour tasty croissants. Your guide will share fascinating information about the region’s history. Enjoy a tour of Chambord Castle, revealing secrets of the Renaissance and the legendary King Francis I, who ordered its construction 500 years ago. Embark on a scenic drive along the Loire River, passing other mythical castles, including Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci’s last home, and Blois, the residence of French kings during the Renaissance. For lunch, there will be a reserved table at one of the region’s most famous restaurants, a Michelin-starred establishment. The chef’s creative menu, prepared with local products, will be perfectly paired with delicious wines.

After your gourmet lunch, your guide will take you to the heart of the vineyards in the famous appellations of Vouvray and Montlouis-sur-Loire.
