Chateaux & Gardens of the Loire Valley

There is nothing quite like the beauty of France’s Loire Valley. From Julius Caesar in 52 B.C. to the Huns in the 5^th century and the kings of France from the 16^th century on, the Loire Valley has always been a highly revered and sought-after swath of land through central France for its fertile land, plentiful water, and desirable climate. Embraced by French royalty as a safe haven away from the political backstabbing of Paris, the Loire Valley became their playground and, on this tour, we’ll take a step back in time as we visit some of the valley’s most beautiful cities, villages, chateaux, and gardens including, but not limited to Chenonceau, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, Amboise, Chateau de Lude (still a family home), and many, many more! We’ll also visit historic towns and villages like Orleans, Tours, Amboise, Blois, and more. And of course, we can’t be in the Loire Valley and not take advantage of its rich culinary heritage and wine-making traditions! We would also be remiss to miss out on some gardens a little nearer to Paris, so on the way to and from the Loire Valley, we’ll also make stops at the Roseraie du Val-de-Marne where more than 3,000 roses will be at peak bloom, and the nearly indescribable gardens of Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte.
