Full Day Private Gardens Tour In The Loire Valley

Your day begins with a scenic drive to Chaumont-sur-Loire, a unique estate blending history, art, and landscape design. Its International Garden Festival features spectacular, annually renewed creations by artists and designers from around the world, a must-see for any garden enthusiast.

Next, you’ll continue to the Gardens of Château de Valmer, an elegant and intimate property combining terraced Renaissance gardens with a working vineyard. This hidden gem offers a tranquil experience with a strong sense of place and connection to the Loire terroir.

In the afternoon, your third visit will be selected based on your place of stay:

• If nearby, the Gardens of Chenonceau are an enchanting experience, with perfectly manicured spaces framing the château’s dramatic position over the River Cher.
• Alternatively, Villandry is renowned worldwide for its extraordinary Renaissance vegetable gardens, ornamental boxwood designs, and peaceful water gardens, a must-see for any garden enthusiast.

A break for lunch will be arranged by your driver-guide, who can suggest a local bistro or countryside auberge, allowing you to enjoy the regional cuisine in a relaxed setting before your final visit.

Throughout the day, your private driver-guide will ensure a seamless, thoughtful experience, offering background on each estate and adapting the pace to your preferences.
