The Loire Valley is rich in wineries, châteaux, and scenic landscapes. This minibus tour begins with a pickup from the Amboise Tourist Office at 9:30 am. The first destination is the Château de Chenonceau, known for its arches over the river Cher.
The Château de Chenonceau, referred to as the "Château des Dames," is a significant royal palace. Inside, we will explore the rooms of Catherine de Medici and other notable women who shaped its history during the Renaissance. The château's name change is also an interesting story related to one of its former residents.
