Absolutely stunning day in the Loire Valley! Our guide, Lucie, was wonderful — so knowledgeable about the history of the châteaux and the vineyards. We visited Chambord, Cheverny, and a small family-run vineyard for a wine tasting and light lunch. Every stop felt carefully curated, and the countryside views were breathtaking. A truly memorable experience. Highly recommend!
