When the tour outline says "Chenonceau and Montpoupon" they are the main attractions, but along the way you will see a prehistoric burial chamber, and hear stories of derring-do by the French Resistance during World War II. On other tours we might pop in to a church over 1200 years old, visit a cheese maker, or stroll along a row of almost forgotten troglodyte caves. Last month some of our clients got to see wild orchids growing by the roadside, as well.
