Itinerary

Chateau Royal d'Amboise

one hour Admission included

After departing Paris in the morning, enjoy a spacious, luxury ride to the first stop of the day, Chateau Royal d'Amboise. The royal château is famous for being the last resting place of Leonardo da Vinci.

French royalty resided at Amboise from the 15th to the 19th century, and with its spectacular view over the Loire River, Saint Hubert Chapel, and Gothic architectural details, you can easily imagine knights galloping off into the distance as you breathe in fresh air from impressive vantage points.
Le Chateau du Clos Luce - Parc Leonardo da Vinci

Passing by

Near Amboise, there will be a quick stop for pictures at Clos Lucé, which used to be the official residence of Leonardo da Vinci, between 1516 and 1519.
Chateau de Chenonceau

2 hours Admission included

Next is a real jewel of a château, and the most famous of the Loire region: Chenonceau with its magnificent gardens.

Chenonceau is a unique castle, situated above the Cher river, that is also known as “Chateau des dames.” It’s a beautiful mixture between Gothic and Renaissance styles with ornateness that one might only imagine seeing in fairy tale books. Next to Versailles, this is the most visited castle in France.

Walks of the grounds reveal a dizzying labyrinth, and a tour of the interior with your private expert guide might take you to the chapel, Francoise I's drawing room, and the gallery over the bridge
Chateau de Chambord

one hour Admission included

In the afternoon, you will finally discover Chambord, a grandiose château. Set on 13,000 acres of parkland, this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th-century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the

château, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, is simply mind-blowing.
