Loire Valley Time Travel private tours

Private tours of the Loire Valley

At Loire Valley Time Travel, we specialize in curating personalised tours of France's enchanting Loire Valley. Explore the timeless chateaux of the Loire Valley, uncover hidden gems known only to locals, savour authentic home style cooking meals at restaurants frequented by farmers and artisans, and pay a visit to acclaimed family-operated wineries.

Since 2009 our tours have featured iconic 1950s Citroën Traction Avant cars, a vehicle loved by three generations of French people. Despite being 70 years old, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the cars' comfort and amazed by the ample space in the rear seat. Simply relax and relish the admiring glances.


Azay-le-Rideau and Villandry

An unforgettable Loire Valley Experience.

We meet you at your hotel or the train station and start the day with a drive along a picturesque valley to the chateau of Azay le Rideau. We make a fully guided visit of this renaissance gem, which sits on an island in the river Indre. After visiting the chateau you have a choice of charming restaurants for lunch in the pretty village that clusters around the chateau. After lunch we visit the world famous parterre gardens of the chateau of Villandry. We then return to your hotel or the train station for your trip back to Paris.

€970(euros) for up to 4 people, starting in Tours. There is no problem with leg or head room in our classic cars, but they were built in the days when people were smaller, and if more than two people are travelling then ideally one of you needs to be quite slender.

Admission tickets and lunch not included.
