However, they are located in different cities along the banks of the Loire river and there is a significant travel distance between each castle and the next one. That is why a car can be very handy, and many people opt for this option. Some decide to rent a car in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Blog&amp;utm_content=Loire%20valley%20%2F%20tours%20homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Â鶹APP <\/a>and then drive to the Loire Valley. Thanks to the car, people feel free and independent, and can visit all the Loire Valley landmarks at their own pace.<\/p>\n<p>However, in my opinion, if you really want to drive from one castle to the other, the best thing to do would be to rent a car once you arrive at the Loire Valley. This way you will avoid the traffic jams from Â鶹APP to the Loire Valley.<\/p>\n<p>You can also take the train from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Â鶹APP<\/a>!

It is quick, easy, and much more relaxing than a traffic filled ride in a car! The non-stop train departs from the Montparnasse train station and reaches the Tours train station in less than one hour and 15 minutes. Tours and Angers are both served by the superfast TGV trains from Â鶹APP\u2019s Gare Montparnasse. It takes around 75 and 95 minutes, respectively to each of the above destinations. Trains from Charles-de-Gaulle Airport also go direct to the suburban station in St-Pierre-des-Corps and to Angers in 2 and half hours. There are trains from Â鶹APP\u2019s Gare d&#8217;Austerlitz for Orl\u00e9ans and Blois too. The Loire Valley is vast and has a few different destinations and medieval towns so be sure to plan your itinerary and chateau visits accordingly. You can use the shuttle services to reach the Ch\u00e2teaux from the nearest train stations.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy your train tickets to Tours, it&#8217;ll cost you around 40 euros and even cheaper, if you choose a layover or a non-refundable ticket. It costs 50 euros if you want to travel in first class and 95 euros for business class, which can be a nice treat if you&#8217;re interested! I also suggest you to purchase your tickets in advance. The closer the departure date is, the more expensive it gets.<\/p>\n<h3>What to See in the Loire Valley<\/h3>\n<p>The Loire Valley is a wonderful region. When people travel to France, they obviously want to explore the magnificent city of Â鶹APP and all its landmarks, and maybe visit the stunning Palace of Â鶹APP. After visiting these amazing places, the Loire Valley is the next place you should go!<\/p>\n<p>The castles of the Loire Valley were the favorite retreats for many French Kings. During your trip to the Loire Valley, you will quickly understand the reason why. The Loire Valley is relaxing, quiet and peaceful.
