Rick Steves' Europe (2000)

S08E03 France's Loire: Chateau Country

In the picturesque Loire River Valley, the stunning French landscape is dotted with enchanting châteaux. Setting our base in Amboise, we explore four distinct castles: the graceful Chenonceau, the grand Chambord, the dignified Cheverny, and the aromatic Villandry. During our journey, we visit Leonardo da Vinci's residence, feed hunting dogs, indulge in the regional cuisine, and relish the beauty of a royal garden.
