The day starts with a visit to the Amboise Castle, symbol of a new style of architecture: the French Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci gave life to the castle. You will see all his inventions when you visit the Clos Luce, his residence. At the end of the morning , you leave for Chenonceau where lunch (included) is served in the castle's Orangerie (summer) or in the village (winter).
At the beginning of the afternoon, there is a visit to the Chenonceau Castle, called the "Chateau aux Dames" built on the Cher.
The last stop is Montrichard for a visit to the Monmousseau Cellars - an important wine producer in the region - where you will taste 3 vintages.
