What's included, what's not

  • Inclusions
    1.5-hour guided visit in a small shared group (you will be part of a group of no more than 10 people) with an independent local live guide.
  • Inclusions
    Audio equipment loan (microphone system for me and headphones for you) to guarantee optimal listening comfort throughout our tour, even if there are people around us.
  • Exclusions
    Admission tickets to the castle are not included. The price of your reservation covers only the guided tour and the listening equipment. How to book your ticket: Go to the official ticket counter (https://www.chambord.org) and simply select "Château" then "Entrée Château et Jardins" (single ticket). The advantage for you? Buying your tickets yourself allows you to benefit from the discounts or free admissions to which your family is entitled (for example, admission is free for those under 18 and for 18-25 year olds from the European Union!).

Know before you book

    • Not allowed: Flash photography, Luggage or large bags, Selfie sticks, Touching the exhibits, Unaccompanied minors
    • Not suitable for: People with mobility impairments, Wheelchair users

What you can expect

  • Discover or rediscover one of the most prestigious castles in Europe! I offer a fun tour to help you understand everything about the history of this unique heritage site.

    As an independent live guide, I organise this small group tour, limited to a maximum of 10 participants. You will join other visitors to share a friendly moment and follow in the footsteps of François I and his crazy project: to build the “Jewel of the French Renaissance”.
    Please note: My service includes only the guiding service; the entrance ticket to the castle is not included and must be purchased by you.
    Also, get ready, because this tour is interactive! You'll have to participate by answering my questions or even by trying to imagine you're courtiers of France on the famous double helix staircase.

    I'll meet you in front of the castle entrance, just before the airport-style security check.
    Please note that the visitor car parks are not located right by the gates! Allow 5 to 10 minutes to walk from your vehicle to reach the castle. Please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time.
    For easy identification: I am a young brunette girl with glasses. I will be waiting for you there with my live guide card around my neck and a French flag in my hand.
    Our tour together will last 1 hour and 30 minutes and will end in style on the famous terraces of Chambord.
