Description

Embark on a full-day tour to discover two gems of the Loire Valley from Paris: Sancerre and Gien!

Your day will begin with an early morning departure from your hotel in Paris at 8:00 am, as you set off for the beautiful Loire Valley aboard a private vehicle.

Your first stop will be Sancerre, a charming hilltop village surrounded by vineyards. Renowned for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc white wines, Sancerre offers the perfect opportunity to taste and purchase local wines at attractive prices. You’ll also enjoy free time to wander through its quaint streets and have lunch at your own pace in one of the local restaurants.

After lunch, head to Briare, where you’ll admire the impressive Canal Bridge, a masterpiece of engineering designed by Gustave Eiffel. This architectural wonder offers stunning panoramic views of the Loire River and the surrounding countryside.

Your final stop will be Gien, a town famous for its traditional earthenware. Delve into the region’s rich heritage and craftsmanship by visiting the Faience Museum (entrance fee not included) and exploring the outlet stores, where you can find unique pieces at reduced prices.

Your day will conclude with a return to Paris, arriving back at your hotel in the early evening.
