Château de Chenonceau + Chambord Excursion

On this excursion from Tours, we'll visit Chenonceau and Chambord, two renowned castles in Loire, and taste wines in the Caves Ambacia wine cellars.

Description

The Loire Valley awaits. We will depart from the Tourist Office in Tours at the specified time. After a 40-minute minibus ride, we will arrive at the Château de Chenonceau, known as the "Château des Dames". This castle is famous for its arches over the Cher River, designed by one of its historical female occupants. During our visit, we will also learn about the castle's name change from "Chenoceaux" to "Chenonceau".
