Loire Valley: A Journey into the Heart of French Elegance

2 day(s)

What you’ll love:

Immersing yourself in the crown jewels of French history at the wheel of a Cartis classic car,
Indulging in the serenity of the Loire Valley vineyards, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site,
Taking in the majestic approach of the Château de Chambord, at the heart of the Domaine national de Chambord.

“Everything fell away when I saw the banks of the Loire and the hills of Touraine. I was completely overwhelmed with delight.”
Honoré de Balzac.

Offer your guests a truly immersive experience in vintage cars through the Loire Valley—a land of excellence where royal history meets the pleasures of refined French living.

Designed as a bespoke, high-end incentive getaway, this charming two-day escape blends culture, heritage, gastronomy, and landscapes recognized by UNESCO.

Perfect for private group events, this journey combines the joy of a classic car road trip with the discovery of Renaissance treasures, all set against a majestic and intimate backdrop.

The Destination

With the sea on the horizon The Loire Valley is a lush green haven crossed by France’s longest river—a land of magnificent castles, formal gardens, and villages steeped in elegance. Your premium experience begins in Blois, as you take scenic backroads bordered by vineyards, open woodlands, and hidden manor houses tucked behind hedgerows.

Next comes Chenonceau, a suspended masterpiece over the River Cher, where architectural grace meets the legacy of Renaissance women. Amboise follows, a former seat of royal power and the final resting place of Leonardo da Vinci. Then, in a moment of awe, Chambord rises from the forest in all its grandeur—a visionary marvel of King Francis I’s reign, surrounded by an extraordinary wildlife estate.

At every stop, a new atmosphere awaits: private castle tours, exclusive access, guided Loire wine tastings, gourmet lunches at discreet estates or historic vineyards... Each experience is crafted around your goals and your guests’ expectations. Throughout this vintage car rally, no two moments are alike: historic discoveries, gourmet interludes, encounters with master artisans or local producers, all paced to the rhythm of an elegant, carefree journey where every detail reflects the true art of French hospitality.
