Suggested route
Day by day
This is a starting point, not a fixed group tour. Hotel choices, visits, restaurant times and daily departures are adjusted around your priorities.
Day 2
Amboise → Clos Lucé → Chenonceau
Connect the royal château of Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci’s Clos Lucé and the elegant Château de Chenonceau.
Day 3
Villandry → Azay-le-Rideau or Chinon
Choose formal gardens at Villandry, romantic Azay-le-Rideau or Chinon’s history and vineyards before returning to Paris or ending in Tours.
Shorter version: For a 2-day version, combine Chambord and Blois on day one, then Amboise and Chenonceau on day two.
