Tailor-Made Travel

Private & custom Loire Valley tours, designed around you.

The Loire Valley is France's garden — a string of Renaissance châteaux along the river, from vast Chambord to graceful Chenonceau spanning the water, set among formal gardens and vineyards of crisp Vouvray and Chinon. It's an easy, elegant escape from Paris.

Every Hamilton & Chase Loire Valley tour is private and fully custom. From private château visits and hot-air-balloon mornings to a luxury Loire Valley vacation of château-hotel stays and wine tastings, we build it around you — with private guides and drivers. The Loire pairs beautifully with Paris or Normandy. The best time to visit the Loire Valley is April to October, when the gardens are in full colour.
