This tour was wonderful. It was great to have a small group and Agethe made it both interesting, enjoyable and a touch of the “real” France. Loved the two castles and lunch at the private castle was delicious. Thank you to Agethe. Highly recommend this tour.

What a wonderful day! The bike path along the river Cher was simply idyllic. Chenonceau castle is beautiful and the wine tasting was informative and welcoming. Picking up the bike and the using the navigation app was very straightforward. I was tired by the end; this was a full day activity. I enjoyed dinner in the charming centre of Amboise.

This is a site with many stories: I'll talk about a wide range of subjects including the stories of the women associated with this site, medieval personal hygiene, social status of mistresses, a very famous prisoner, historic graffiti and medieval weapons. My background is not art history, but collections care and the behind the scenes management of historic sites.

We traveled by train from Montparnasse Station to St Pierre des Corps, where we were met by Simon, Susan and Celestine, and whisked away to a lovely day visiting the chateaux at Cheverney and Chenonceau, with stops to view other beautiful sights along the way. I had no idea that in addition to including admission to each site, a three-course lunch with wine, and a winery visit and tasting, we were also going to be treated to a comprehensive and personalized guided tour through history by the very knowledgeable Susan, an art and history expert who wove our way directly to the most intriguing spots at each site and cheerfully tailored our visit to the things we were most interested in rather than drowning us in details such as, for example, the complete history of armour (which she is also fully capable of covering for those who like that sort of thing). At the end of our day we were escorted right to the correct track and car number for a stress-free ride back to Paris. All in all a unique and wonderful experience, with photos and memories that will be cherished and revisited for many years to come. Highly recommended, especially for history buffs with a strong aversion to slogging around foreign places like schoolchildren on a crowded bus tour.
