Loire Valley – The Garden of France
Located along France's longest river, the Loire, this region was a favorite retreat for French kings during the Renaissance. The Loire Valley is a breathtaking setting, where art, history, and a peaceful life blend with natural beauty.
Castles Visited on the Tour
1. Amboise Castle
A castle with military roots dating back to the 2nd century, strategically located on a hill overlooking the Loire.
Transformed into a royal castle by Charles VIII, who tragically died there during a palm game.
Francis I, who grew up in Amboise, brought Leonardo da Vinci to court, marking the beginning of the French Renaissance.
Visit Clos Lucé, the small castle where Da Vinci spent his final days. Today, it is a museum dedicated to the life and work of the Italian master.
2. Chambord Castle
Built in the 16th century by King Francis I, it is the largest castle in the Loire Valley.
Its design was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, who brought Renaissance architectural innovations.
Although it was rarely used by kings, Chambord impresses with its grandeur, with 440 rooms, 84 staircases and a monumental facade.
3. Chenonceau Castle
Known as the Castle of the Seven Ladies, for its connection with influential women such as Catherine de Medici and Diana of Poitiers.
