Top Paris Day Trips - Beautiful French Castles of the Loire Valley

Want to visit beautiful old castles in the French countryside while you're in Paris? Even if you've only got a day, it can be done! Come join me on my day trip to the world renowned Loire Valley, a UNESCO world heritage area home to over 300 of these magnificent castles, known in French as châteaux. Visiting this region is like stepping into a fairytale, filled with architectural wonders ranging from imposing medieval fortresses to breathtaking Renaissance castles and palatial country estates. The Loire Valley is quite large and can easily take multiple days to fully explore all of the picturesque towns and the breathtaking splendor of the châteaux but I only had a single day to visit, so I'll share my trip logistics, give you my thoughts on experiencing this region in just a day trip, and take you on a small tour of the 3 châteaux I visited - Chenonceau, Amboise, and Chambord.
