The valley where French kings came to hunt and to build: Chambord, too big to be a home; Amboise, above the town where Leonardo da Vinci spent his last years; and Chenonceau, built across a river.

The day

About two hours each way. Three châteaux is the comfortable maximum for one day.

07:00

Chambord

Four hundred and twenty-six rooms, a double-helix staircase two people can climb without meeting, and a roofline like a small town.
Entrance not included

Amboise, and lunch

Lunch in the town, under the royal château where Leonardo da Vinci is buried. Clos Lucé, his last home, is a short walk away.

14:00

Chenonceau

The château built on arches across the Cher, shaped over four centuries by the women who lived in it.
Entrance not included
