Château of Ussé : Nestled in the lush Indre Valley, the Château of Ussé is said to have inspired Charles Perrault’s famous tale Sleeping Beauty. It embodies the quintessential medieval castle of poets and fairy tales. Highlights include the King's bedroom, adorned in red silk and furnished with exquisite Louis XVI pieces.
Château of Villandry and its Gardens : Villandry is the last of the great Loire Valley châteaux built during the Renaissance. Beyond its remarkable architecture, it is world-renowned—both in France and abroad—for its extraordinary gardens. Strolling through them is a delight: the Renaissance vegetable garden, the romantic “Gardens of Love,” the water garden, the medicinal herb garden, the maze, and the exuberant Sun Garden all offer endless photo opportunities.
Château of Chenonceau and its Gardens : Nicknamed “the Ladies’ Castle,” Chenonceau is among the most magnificent Loire Valley châteaux. Cherished by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici, it beautifully represents Renaissance elegance in the 16th-century Loire Valley. Its gardens are as enchanting as its architecture.
Clos Lucé : This château was Leonardo da Vinci’s final residence. In 1516, the Italian Renaissance genius accepted King Francis I’s invitation and settled in France, bringing with him his notebooks and three of his masterpieces—The Mona Lisa, Saint Anne, and Saint John the Baptist—now housed in the Louvre. Visitors can explore Renaissance rooms, frescoes painted by his disciples, and 40 models of his ingenious inventions. The landscaped gardens form an open-air museum featuring 20 full-scale models and illustrated displays—a true immersive journey.
The Morning Performance of the Cadre Noir The riders of the prestigious Cadre Noir invite you to the grand arena for a unique presentation, showcasing their training techniques and the work done with their young horses.
Fontevraud Abbey : Founded in 1101 at the crossroads of Anjou, Touraine, and Poitou, Fontevraud owes its prominence to the Plantagenet dynasty and its close ties to Eleanor of Aquitaine. Queen of both France and England, she spent her final years here. Her recumbent effigy lies in the abbey church beside those of Henry II Plantagenet and Richard the Lionheart.
Château of Chambord One of the Loire Valley’s most iconic landmarks, Chambord is a true gem of Renaissance architecture, admired worldwide. Follow in the footsteps of François I, Louis XIV, Molière, and Victor Hugo, and experience the majesty of this grand château. Explore 70 rooms and trace 500 years of French history. Conceived for a king and crafted by some of the brightest minds and finest artisans of the 16th century, Chambord has captivated visitors for centuries.
Walking Tour of the City of Tours : Discover the city’s rich heritage on a guided walking tour that includes Saint-Gatien Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, Rue Colbert, and the historic “Old Tours” district—now a lively area with narrow, often pedestrian streets lined with timber-framed houses from the 15th and 16th centuries. Highlights also include Saint-Pierre-le-Puellier Garden, the spiral stair towers on Rue de la Rôtisserie, the famous Place Plumereau, Charlemagne Tower, and the Basilica of Saint Martin.
