A slow TGV glide north from Paris deposits you at Vendôme-Villiers, where a private vehicle waits to pull the Loire Valley into view: a river that dares you to follow its curve, forests pushing up toward period rooftops and wide fields punctuated by stone châteaux. Over two days, the tour threads three of the valley’s most famous residences—Chambord’s imperial silhouette, Chenonceau’s arched span across the Cher, and Clos Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci’s last home—each experienced with skip‑the‑line access and a local guide.
