Camille provided a wonderful tour of the three chateaux. She is thoughtful, informative, knowledgeable and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. The lunch stop was very private and the food excellent. At the lunch stop we were able to tour a wedding museum with gowns going back to the late 1800's. Very interesting. At Chateau Chambord, it was interesting to see that artwork from the Louvre was stored at the Chateau during WWII.beauti That was an unexpected surprise exhibit. Thank you so much.
