Chateaux & Gardens of Normandy and the Loire Valley
October 5, 2025 – October 16, 2025
Jason Reeves and Troy Marden are off once again, this time to two of the most beautiful regions of France—Normandy and the Loire Valley! Beginning and ending in Paris, first we’ll head north and west as we explore the region of Normandy. We’ll use Rouen and Caen as our home bases for this part of the tour, exploring some of the most beautiful gardens in France along the way. No trip to Normandy would be complete without visits to the D-Day beaches, the American cemetery, and other historic World War II sites, and we’ll be sure not to miss them. Then we’ll head south to the indescribable Loire Valley, where you can toss a stone in any direction and hit a chateau, each one grander and more exquisite than the next. We’ll explore the valley from its west end to its east as we complete our loop and eventually make our way back to Paris.
Complete details will be available in September 2024. To be added to a list of interested guests, please email troy@troybmarden.com and you will be notified once the final itinerary and pricing are complete.
