This excursion will give you
an idea of
“castle life” and the essence of royal lifestyle since the Renaissance.
Chambord Castle: The
largest of the Loire Castles. You will admire the great work of
François 1st. This castle was built as hunting grounds for
him. You walk up to the terraces with the famous
“double revolution” staircase attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci. Cheverny Castle: The most
beautifully furnished Castle
of the Loire. It is still inhabited. You will be stunned by its genuine
charm and magnificent decorum. Chenonceau Castle:
Known as the
“Château des Dames” (“Ladies Castle”) in the History of France;
it was
built in 1513 by Catherine Briçonnet, then embellished by Diane
de
Poitiers and Catherine de Médicis, and later Madame Dupin
managed to
save it from the rigours of the Revolution. Indeed, Chenonceau
owes part of its charm to women. Lunch in a typical
regional restaurant included. Entrance tickets included.
