Landmark
A 13-hour day trip to the Loire Valley, starting at Château de Chambord (said to have inspired Disney's Beauty and the Beast castle), with free time to explore its grounds and famous double-helix staircase. After free time for lunch in Blois, the tour continues to Château de Chenonceau, spanning the Cher river, followed by a wine tasting in its cellar.
💡 Good to know
It is a long day (13 hours) with two full château visits, so wear comfortable shoes. Lunch in Blois is on your own.

What people say
"Found the day beautiful and the castles breathtaking, though felt rushed during lunch and at the second castle, and had trouble entering the final château."
