Some of the most iconic sites of France can be found not far from Paris, the stunning Chateaux of the Loire to the south-west, and the magical world of Champagne to the east.
Even better, these two regions are linked by a direct high speed train (TGV) taking just 2 hours, making ‘Chateaux and Champagne’ not only an irresistible combination with a royal connection, but also a very real proposition.
They also offer a wealth of gastronomic delights, with local specialities, fine wines, special places for dining out and unusual tasting experiences that will punctuate your voyage of discovery with local colours and flavours.
