For two centuries, the kings of France chose the Loire valley as their private retreat — and they left behind the most extraordinary concentration of Renaissance architecture in Europe. The entire valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretching 280 km along one of France's longest rivers.
Your private chauffeur selects the best combination of châteaux for a single day — typically Chambord in the morning and Chenonceau or Villandry in the afternoon — adjusting the itinerary to your interests and pace.
Must-See Attractions
The four unmissable châteaux of the Loire
Chambord
François I's hunting lodge on a royal scale — 440 rooms, 365 fireplaces and a double-helix staircase said to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The largest château in the Loire.
Chenonceau
The most visited château in France after Versailles, built across the Cher river by Catherine de Médicis. Its long gallery above the water is one of French architecture's defining images.
Villandry
Six hectares of Renaissance gardens — ornamental potager, water garden and maze — considered the finest formal gardens in France and perhaps in all of Europe.
Amboise
Where Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years, buried in the château chapel. The Clos Lucé manor houses the world's only permanent exhibition of his inventions as scale models.
