Paris to the Loire Valley Tour
The Loire Valley is about a two-hour drive from Paris. However, a Paris to Loire Valley tour feels like a complete change of pace. You leave busy streets and the urban vibe of Paris and enter a landscape of riverside towns, vineyards, gardens, and Renaissance châteaux. Your trip will be easy if you hire a minibus or coach to ensure you and the other people travelling with you can easily move from one place to another.
Memorable Tour from Paris to the Loire Valley
Perhaps you are holidaying with your family or friends in Paris and want to spend some time in the Loire Valley. You can hire a vehicle from Minibus Hire France and plan a day trip. It could be a one-day trip or a multi-day trip. Given that all our vehicles come with a driver, you don’t need to hire a driver. Besides, our driver can serve as your local guide because they know the Loire Valley very well.
You and your companions can make several stops on your way to the Loire Valley. The first stop is Château Azay-le-Rideau, which sits on an island in the River Indre. This château was built in the 16th century. One unique aspect of the castle is that it appears to rise from the water. This creates a perfect reflection that you will love in your photographs.
Also, you can stop at Villandry. This is the largest private garden in Europe. A Franco-American family restored it in the 19th century. You and your group can decide to have a lunch break at the local restaurants near Villandry. Keep in mind that the places you will visit will be pre-planned. However, you can always request your driver to stop for a few minutes to take photos during your trip.
At Minibus Hire France, we recommend that you book your trip early. This will give our team enough time to plan for your trip. That may involve servicing your minibus or coach early enough and ensuring it has all the amenities you need. You should also notify us if your travel plans change or if you plan to cancel your trip.
