Walking Tours
Discover the detail
In addition to our chauffeured tours, we lead guided walks around some of the Loire Valley's most celebrated châteaux and towns. Walking lets you linger — to look up at a carved finial, peer into a courtyard, or follow Susan down an alley that doesn't appear on any map.
Our walks are led by Susan, whose expertise in heritage conservation and local history brings every stone, garden and street corner to life. All walks are private and can be tailored to your pace and interests.
These sample three hour walks are for groups of up to six people and are €400 per walk. Susan is also available for one hour themed walks. Please contact us to discuss dates and routes.

Custom Routes
Private walks can be focused on well known must see châteaux, but equally on more niche themes, such as wild orchids, farmers' markets, how medieval women lived, 16th century graffiti, the French Resistance, or luxury living between the Wars. We might walk in the forest, through the countryside or in a garden. Maybe we'll be on village streets, historic corridors or even industrial sites. Tell us what your interests are, and we will work together to create your special walk.
