Loire Valley chateaux, a coment from Anais

An excellent week-end at the Loire Valley

« Waste a day at the Loire Valley when visiting Paris ? No way…” This is what I used to say before last week-end.
If you are staying one week or more in Paris, do not miss the Loire Valley, it is a very good choice!

We leaved Paris Saturday afternoon and had time to visit 3 castles during 2 days: Chambord, Chenonceau, and Amboise (half day per place).

What can I say about the castles? Well, there are no words to describe their beauty. It is a must do in France. The landscapes are also marvellous.
My favourite? Chambord, thanks to the marvellous guide we had.
Also people are helpful and reserved us a very nice welcome there.

Something is sure: If you go there by your self you must prepare well your days. You will have to rent a car, wake up early, prepare your routes in order to have nice landscapes and count lots of money (it is expensive).
There is a very good web (English) to prepare your visit : chateauxtourisme

You can also take a guided tour with Cityrama, VisitFrance…

And of course have a great visit!

I am thinking about going back there for one week but in one or two years during summer… That is the privilege about living in Paris…
