Overview
About this package
Seven days pairing Paris at its most iconic — the Eiffel Tower at twilight, the Louvre's endless galleries, a Seine dinner cruise — with an unforgettable detour into the Loire Valley's storybook châteaux at Chambord and Chenonceau. Wine cellars, royal gardens, and the quiet grandeur of provincial France round out a week that captures both faces of the country. Add a Montmartre morning, a Versailles Hall of Mirrors visit, and Leonardo da Vinci's final home at Clos Lucé, and seven days pair Paris glamour with provincial French calm.
