4 days/3 nights A holiday in the Loire Valley

Chenonceau Castle

What refinement this 16th-century château displays, earning it the nickname ‘the Ladies’ Château’. Inside, the ornate décor of the rooms and the arched wing reflect the influence of the women who once owned it.

Amboise Castle

In the heart of the town, this veritable fortress overlooking the Loire was built in the 15th and 16th centuries on the orders of Charles VIII, Louis XII and François I.

The Sound and Light Show

In the courtyard of Blois Castle, as night falls, the façades come to life to tell you the story of France – the story that unfolded in Blois.

The Château de Chambord

A masterpiece of the French Renaissance, this château is François I’s greatest achievement. Inside, the rooms reflect the king’s splendour through their vaulted ceilings and the faithful recreations of rooms such as François I’s bedroom.

Cheverny Castle

This private château, which has been open to visitors since 1922, has belonged to the same family for over six centuries: the Huraults, a family of financiers and military officers who distinguished themselves in the service of several kings of France.

The International Garden Festival

It takes place every year at the Chaumont-sur-Loire regional estate. More than twenty gardens are created by teams of landscape architects from all over the world. You can explore each one to discover the artist’s often philosophical vision.

Chaumont-sur-Loire Castle

Set in the heart of a landscaped park, Chaumont Castle overlooks the River Loire from a height of around 40 metres. It was once owned by Catherine de’ Medici in 1552 and by her rival, Diane de Poitiers.
