Chambord + 2 Loire Valley Castle Combo

The film explaining the history of the château, the explanatory panels in all the rooms, the exhibition of paintings and the temporary exhibition of the Japanese artist

The guide(s) and bus driver were all great! Chambord was absolutely stunning, though the castle itself is mostly empty, with the exceptions of faux deer heads representing the history and hunting prowess of Francis I, modern art installations, and a reproduction of the theater; it allows you to focus on the building itself. Amboise was very cool, much smaller and more homey, with more in the way of historical storytelling in the exhibits compared to Chambord, and some exceptional views of the Loire; but the town might be even better than the castle. You won't be bored if you skip the castle tour. Personally, Orléans was the only part I could have done without. The Orleans visit focused on two sites: the Cathedral, and "home" of Jeanne d'Arc. While I thought the message of the visit was on point, it also felt overwhelming and rushed after such a long day. Photos are all from Chambord

Visiting the castles without any hassles once we got there was good. Showed my ticket and was let in. I enjoy visiting places on my own pace. The tickets provided me with that. The castles are beautiful!

Very good. I'm happy, it was perfect. I'll do it again next time.

The castles, parks, and landscapes are fairy tale-like

Chambord superbe architecture, mais vide, pas de meubles, et jardin bien aménagé mais peu varie

practical and excellent tour with histopad.
