Project Description
Tour France: The Loire Châteaux
Our Loire Chateaux Tour begins with a luxe night in Paris, and winds its way through the Loire Valley via Chartres. Designed to relax and transport you, our stays in the Loire are staged so you may thoroughly enjoy each chateau destination, including the one that is housing you.
From Chartres, you will be escorted to the prestigious Chateau de la Barre where you will immerse yourself in the historical, cultural wonders of the Loire Valley offered by our gracious hosts, the Comte & Comtesse Vanssay. Your tailored tour includes visiting Amboise, home of Leonardo da Vinci and Chenonceau … and concludes at the Trianon Palace in Versailles, for your last restful night before departure back to Paris.
Arrive Paris
We will rendevouz in our hotel in the 8th arrondissement.
Settle in, relax, get situated and enjoy. We will meet for our first meal together in the hotel lobby.
After petite dejeuner, we will travel one hour south, to Chartres.
We stay at the lovely Grand Monarque. You can drop your bags, take off to explore the ancient streets of Chartres, the wealth of history and culture, and pay a visit to Chartres Cathedral, sitting in the middle of it all.
The day is yours to explore town. We will fine dine in Le Georges.
Late this morning, we will be escorted to Chateau de la Barre, where we step into another world. Here you will enjoy chateau life, and discover the Loire through the lens of our gracious hosts, the Comte and Comtesse.
Prepare yourselves! One of our dinners here will be the Grand Siecle Dinner, designed to saturate you to the brim.
After petite dejeuner, we’re off to Amboise, final home of Leonardo Da Vinci, where we will take in the splendor of this beautiful town, the Chateau d’Amboise, and as well, the home of Leonardo.
Return to our chateau for aperos, relaxation and dinner.
Today we cap our chateaux tour, taking in the breadth of Chenonceau, perched over the River Cher.
Returning mid-afternoon to our accommodation, we will R&R before our final meal together here.
This morning we bid adieu to our exceptional hosts, and make our way back to Versailles for our last evening of the tour together, in the Trianon Palace.
The Trianon Palace literally backs up to the Palace of Versailles. Walk out the door of the hotel, promenade the well-worn paths and spectacular gardens, or perhaps explore the Palace itself. This is your day to luxuriate; book a massage in the spa, swim, sauna — or schedule a beauty package.
Our last meal together is mid-day Sunday brunch at the Trianon before we bid adieu and transfer to Paris.
