Weekend at the Loire Castles

A châteaux weekend: a themed getaway in the Loire Valley that's sure to delight young and old alike!

Looking for a weekend at the Châteaux de la Loire

 

A weekend in the Loire Valley castles means discovering an immense historical, cultural and architectural heritage, while enjoying the pleasures of a green holiday in one of France's most beautiful regions.

Combine sport and culture by imagining a bike tour between several castles!

Discover some of the Loire's most famous châteaux in a whole new way, with a canoe trip, a guided cruise or even a hot-air balloon flight.
Whether it's an itinerant tour or a permanent fixture, a weekend visit to the châteaux of the Loire Valley with your family will leave you with unforgettable memories: and as there are so many châteaux in the Loire Valley, you'll be able to do it all over again!

How to plan your weekend in the Loire Valley?

To make the most of your time during a weekend in the Loire Valley, plan your visit in advance.

You can start your weekend when you arrive at your holiday destination and design a route for each day from your vacation accommodation.

But you can also take advantage of the route to stop off and visit a castle before you even arrive!
Don't forget to buy your tickets online for the best rates and to avoid queuing at the ticket office.
Online tickets are often ticketed and save you time.

If you want to admire as many castles as possible, choose to visit some only from the outside, and select just a few whose interiors you'll also visit: these may be royal residences only, or castles that appeal to you because of their history or architectural features.

Most of the Châteaux de la Loire were built during the First and Second Hundred Years' Wars, on the banks of the Loire or its tributaries. They were then redeveloped during the Renaissance, when they lost their defensive vocation.
