Days 1-3: Cheverny
Your journey begins in the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site brimming with architectural grandeur and lush landscapes. Here, you’ll explore some of the region’s most iconic castles, beginning with the awe-inspiring Château de Chambord. Its intricate architecture, complete with a double-helix staircase believed to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci, is as impressive as the sprawling forests that surround it. Beyond the castles, the Loire Valley is a gourmand’s delight. Days are spent meandering through quaint villages, sampling artisan cheeses and freshly baked breads at local markets, and savoring private wine tastings in sun-dappled vineyards.
We would highly recommend a stay at Les Sources de Cheverny. This luxurious retreat is surrounded by lush vineyards and centuries-old woodlands. Combining modern elegance with historic charm, this refined hotel offers exceptional dining, a serene spa, and an idyllic base for exploring the region’s iconic châteaux.
Days 4-6: Dinard
Leaving the Loire behind, you’ll travel to the rugged beauty of Brittany’s coastline. Your base in the sophisticated seaside town of Dinard offers a balance of refined luxury and natural splendor. The region is renowned for its dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters, and provides a striking backdrop for exploration. The medieval walled city of Saint-Malo invites you to wander its cobblestone streets, admire its granite fortifications, and savor local specialties like buttery kouign-amann pastries.
The Castelbrac Hotel in Dinard is a stunning seaside retreat perched on Brittany’s rugged coastline, offering breathtaking views of the ocean. With its elegant design, world-class amenities, and an infinity pool overlooking the sea, it provides the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility for those visiting the area.
Days 7-9: Honfleur
Your final stop is Honfleur, a picturesque port town that has inspired artists for centuries. The town’s harbor, lined with colorful timber-framed houses, provides a perfect setting for leisurely strolls and café visits. From here, you’ll explore the dramatic cliffs of Étretat, whose natural arches and towering white limestone formations have been immortalized in countless paintings. Normandy’s historical significance comes alive as you visit the beaches of D-Day, reflecting on their role in shaping the world’s history. The poignant American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer offers a moment of quiet reverence amidst the natural beauty of the coastline.
La Ferme Saint Siméon in Honfleur is a historic luxury hotel set in a beautifully restored 17th-century farmhouse overlooking the Seine estuary. Renowned for its gourmet dining, indulgent spa, and connection to the Impressionist art movement, it offers an enchanting retreat steeped in charm and elegance that has long been a favourite choice amongst our travel experts.
