Day 1
After a pick-up from home, we make our crossing to France, arriving at the Hotel Novotel Amboise in time for dinner.
Day 2
Today we travel to the nearby capital of the region, Tours, where we have free time at leisure to explore this delightful town. With its impressive old town by the river, beautiful, tree-lined squares with half-timbered houses, narrow winding streets, churches and excellent shopping, there is plenty to enjoy.
We then make our way to the Chateau du Rivau where we enjoy lunch and a guided tour. We have some time to enjoy the wonderful gardens at leisure, followed by a tasting of 3 wines.
Day 3
We enjoy a day at leisure in Amboise today, exploring the charming town where our hotel is based.
Wander the small streets of the town centre and marvel at the Troglodyte cave dwellings that have been turned into houses and wine cellars. You may like to try some local wine and visit the Chateau du Clos Luce, where Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years, or the Chateau d'Amboise, a residence for French kings from the 15th to 19th centuries.
Day 4
We make our way to Chisseaux this morning and board our relaxing River Cher cruise. Sit back and admire the flora and fauna on this circular cruise, discovering the history of Cher, its dams and surrounding vineyards. We also view perhaps the most impressive of all the chateaux, Chenonceau, from the water. With a dramatic history of intrigue, the Chateau de Chenonceau is possibly most famous for its connection with the French royal family and Catherine de Medici. Its dramatic position spanning the River Cher also makes it one of the most iconic locations in the whole of France.
After our cruise, we enjoy entrance to the chateau and its gardens.
Day 5
After breakfast, we say our goodbyes to the Hotel Novotel Amboise and start our journey home.
