Day Trips from Paris to Tours

Venture into the Loire Valley and escape the bustle of the French capital. On a day trip from Paris to Tours, a university city that’s the ideal base for exploring the surrounding castles, you’ll delve into French history and admire the architecture while visiting chateaux such as Chambord; elegant Chenonceau (which spans the Cher River); and historic Amboise, one-time home to Leonardo da Vinci. Most tours include comfortable round-trip transportation, skip-the-line entry, and guided visits to these famous landmarks, while other itineraries also feature wine tastings at local vineyards or stops in additional French towns.
