The Loire Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage site located less than two hours out of Paris. The area is dotted with over three hundred chateaux built by French royalty and aristocrats from the 10th century. With so many beautiful castles to visit and without access to a car; we bought tickets for a minibus tour of four famous residences. Our recommendation would be to spread out your chateau visits across multiple days (enjoy the vineyards instead), as it is too easy to become overwhelmed by visiting multiple castles in one day and everything starting to look rather the same.
