Full-day Private Guided Boat Tour on Cher River with Château de Chenonceau Visit

This experience is dedicated to one of the most iconic castles of the Loire Valley, combining a guided visit of Château de Chenonceau with a private boat experience on the Cher River. Comfortable transportation and a local guide ensure a smooth and well-paced visit focused on history, architecture, and setting.

After pickup at your hotel, you will travel by air-conditioned minivan to Château de Chenonceau. The guided visit explores the château’s unique structure, built directly over the Cher River, and its refined Renaissance architecture. Often referred to as the “Château des Dames,” Chenonceau is closely associated with influential women such as Catherine de Médicis, whose vision shaped the castle’s elegance, gardens, and cultural significance. The guide provides historical context while highlighting the château’s role within French royal history.

Following the visit, the experience continues with a private boat ride on the Cher River, offering a different perspective of the château from the water. During the cruise, you can enjoy a bottle of local sparkling wine, taking in views of the arches, riverbanks, and surrounding landscape in a relaxed setting. The combination of guided exploration and time on the river creates a balanced and memorable visit.
