The Loire Valley – Magnificent Chateaux, Delicious Wines

Famous for stunning Renaissance castles, the Loire Valley is close enough to Paris to spend a full day exploring and be back to the city for a late dinner. A day in the valley will have you visiting the sumptuous and historic castles with names like Chateau de Chambord and Chateau de Chenonceau. It's a glorious way to spend a day out of town and something we highly recommend.
