Arriving in the Loire Valley, you’ll start your day tour touring the château de Chenonceau.
The “Chateau des Dames”, bridge built across the Cher, is famous for the great feminine figures who lived in it (Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medicis…) and for the beauty of its Renaissance gardens.
Pascal and his team, welcome you in his caves, former tuff stone quarries, for a tour followed by a wine tasting of 3 local wines.
Lunch at your leisure
After lunch, you will tour the Royal Castle of Amboise, residence of Charles VIII and young François d’Angoulème, future Francois I. You will discover in this wonderful castle, perfect example of transition from Gothic to Renaissance, the Saint Hubert Chapel which shelters today the grave of Leonardo da Vinci.
In order to make your tour thorough, we take you to meet the Genius in his Chateau du Clos Lucé, a few yards away from the Royal Castle.
Leonardo da Vinci spent there the last three years of his life and died there in 1519. After you tour his bedroom, office, reception room and kitchen, you will be in awe in front of the invention room, displaying models of the most spectacular machines Leonardo invented.

Exceptional tour and guide
We had a tour yesterday in Loire valley with Simon from a moose to chambord and bloise and cheverny. I wanted to write to thank him. The tour was amazing!! We bought this vacation from a charity auction and your tour was part of the package. Today we did not have a tour and the hotel booked us for the day with another company. It was night and day. My kids were so bored. All day long they just kept saying it would be fun if Simon was there. We are leaving for Paris tomorrow and I wish he could tour us there! He is an exceptional guide and it was a perfect day. We have been around the world and are hard to please!!!
