Loire Valley Chateaux
Chambord, Chenonceau and Amboise are each about thirty kilometres apart, with no convenient public transport between them. This is precisely the case where a private car changes everything: three chateaux in a day instead of one.
Loire Valley Chateaux from Paris by private car with driver means 520 km, about 12 hours on the road and on site, from €1378 for the whole vehicle — one to four passengers in a sedan, up to seven in a van. The price covers the driver, fuel, tolls and parking. Admission tickets and meals remain yours to pay, which leaves you free to choose what you visit.

How the day unfolds
Three châteaux in a day is the sensible maximum: Chambord for the sheer scale, Chenonceau for the bridge over the Cher, Amboise for the view and Leonardo da Vinci's tomb. Between each, some thirty minutes of country road. We leave around 7 a.m. and are back around 7 p.m. If you would rather do two châteaux with time in the gardens than three at a run, say so: the programme is built around you, since the vehicle is yours alone.

☎ 07 50 53 56 58Frequently asked questions
Does the driver stay with us all day?
Yes. The vehicle and driver are reserved for you for the whole stated duration: he waits during each visit, keeps your things in the boot and picks you up at the exit. You have no timetable to keep and no parking to find. If you want to stay an hour longer somewhere and shorten the next stop, that is decided on the spot.
Are admission tickets included?
No, and that is deliberate: you stay free to choose what you visit and not to pay for a site you would rather see from outside. For busy places — Versailles, Mont-Saint-Michel, a Champagne cellar — book your tickets online in advance, it saves you the queue. Meals are not included either; the driver can suggest somewhere if he knows the area.
Can the day's programme be changed?
Yes, both before and during. The suggested stops are a tried-and-tested route, not an obligation: you can drop one, add another nearby, or simply spend longer where you are enjoying yourself. Mention it when booking if the change alters the distance significantly, because the price depends on it; a few kilometres either way does not change the agreed amount.
