Day 1

Depart Paris with your rental car and drive to Tours, the main city in the region of the Loire Valley and a good place to begin. Spend the first day exploring the capital of the Touraine region, with an historic heart and elegant public buildings. Settle in your hotel, the Domaine des Bidaudières in Vouvray.

 

Day 2

Begin with one of the most beautiful of the châteaux, Chenonceau, built for a mistress and claimed by a queen. Stroll the elegant gardens before continuing top Amboise, with a massive château, and stop at Le Clos-Lucé, the last home of Leonardo da Vinci, where you can see models of his inventions.

 

Day 3

Today visit the largest of the Loire castles, the Château de Chambord, with its remarkable architecture and hundreds of rooms. Continue to the Renaissance gardens of the Château de Villandry, noted for their symmetrical beds and intricate designs. For a jaunt off the beaten path, check out the town of Villaines-les-Rochers, an entire village of basket makers, where local crafts are alive and well.

 

Day 4

Head for Chinon, birthplace of Rabelais and yes, another castle, this one a fortress dominating the hillside and the town. Continue to Saumur to stop and taste the sparkling wine of the region, or visit some of the troglodyte houses and dwellings at Chênehutte-les-Tuffeaux or in the village of Troo. Stop to see the Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud, once a great and powerful abbey, where Eleanor of Aquitaine and her son, Richard the Lionhearted, were laid to rest. Many gardens in this region are open for visitors.

 

Day 5

Morning at leisure.

In the afternoon, depart the Loire Valley and drive back to Paris downtown or to CDG airport.
