What to expect
Day one takes you to three châteaux: Chambord's Renaissance scale, Amboise's riverside setting, and Da Vinci's Clos Lucé hideaway. You'll have time to absorb each place without rushing. That evening, settle into your hotel and rest. Day two brings four more estates—Chenonceau spanning the Cher, hilltop Chaumont, and Blois's façade—plus the winery visit where you'll sample regional wines and hear how production methods have barely shifted in centuries. Your guide handles all logistics; you simply follow.
