5.00Fabulous day! Our guide Agate was very interesting and informative as she took us through each of the chateaus. We also really enjoyed our lunch at the private chateau and had a relaxed wander around the gardens and chapel here also. We highly recommend!

5.00Our guide from a la Francaise made all the difference. Alex was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the chateaux we visited. And her English was excellent. The ride was comfortable (lots of driving) and filled with good info on what we were about to see. And of course, the chateaux speak for themselves in terms of grandeur and wealth run amok...
