Leave the bustle of Paris for a take a breaking 2-day tour of the Loire Valley castles in the French countryside. Visit Chateau d'Amboise overlooking the Loire river, see where da Vinci once lived, and explore the charming castles of Chenonceau, Cheverny, and Chambord.

Cross the southern districts of Paris and leave the city via the Aquitaine motorway. Take a guided visit of the Chateau d'Amboise overlooking the Loire river and learn about the history of the region.

Have lunch on your own before a guided visit of the gardens of Villandry and Clos-Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci's last dwelling. End your day with dinner and overnight accommodation at the Hotel Mercure Tours Nord in Tours.

On your second day, explore Chenonceau and its enchanting castle. Built on the foundations of an old mill and extended to span the river Cher, Chenonceau castle is one of the most visited in France.

Follow your guide to Chateau de Cheverny to explore a rich collection of paintings, arms, and trophies. Then enjoy a traditional French lunch at the Hotel Saint-Hubert. End your tour visiting Chateau de Chambord, the largest castle in the Loire Valley and one of the grandest examples of French Renaissance architecture.
