After an introduction to its royal history, enjoy time to explore the castle independently, admiring its magnificent rooms, remarkable staircases and panoramic terraces. Continue to the historic town of Blois, where you'll have free time to purchase lunch, stroll through the town centre or simply enjoy its charming atmosphere.

Discover its richly decorated interiors, fascinating history and magnificent gardens during a self-guided visit. Depending on the departure date and option selected, the experience can also include a tasting of regional Loire Valley wines in the Chenonceau area.
