Description

The beautiful Loire Valley awaits us! We will depart from the Tourist Office in Tours at the indicated time. After a 40-minute minibus ride, we will arrive at the Château de Chenonceau, known as the "Château des Dames". This residence is famous for its arches over the Cher River. During our visit, we will explore its history and learn about the influential women who lived there, including a notable renaming of the palace from "Chenoceaux" to "Chenonceau".
