Loire Valley Time Travel During the Covid19 Crisis


During the period that Covid19 is actively circulating, and taking into account French government advice on public health, we will not be using our classic cars to offer chauffeured tours until further notice. We will be available for guided chateau walks and 'follow the leader' tours.

The walking tours include guided visits to selected chateaux once they reopen, for example Chenonceau and Loches. There will be nature walks to study and photograph wild orchids in May and June and butterflies in June and July. We are also developing some specialist guided walks, focusing on 16th century graffiti, and Resistance graves in the forest.

'Follow the leader' tours are for travellers who have their own transport and can follow us to a series of sites for a half or full day tour. We will be working with a local chef who will provide picnic lunches.

Masks will need to be worn for some of these activities and hand sanitizer will be supplied. Group size limited to six people.

To enquire about our private guided tours of chateaux, wineries, markets and more email us or use our contact form. More tour ideas can be found on the Loire Valley Time Travel website.
