Where exactly do I meet the group?

Outside the main entrance of the Pullman Paris Centre - Bercy hotel on Rue de Libourne, Paris. Be there by 7:00 AM as the tour departs promptly.

What is the difference between the Self-Guided and Audio-Guided tickets?

Both include the same admissions and transfers. The Audio-Guided ticket adds a multilingual audio guide so you can explore each château at your own pace with commentary. The Self-Guided option lets you move freely without narration.

No — a lunch break is built into the itinerary but food and drink are at your own expense. There are dining options available near the châteaux.

Can I bring a young child?

Children under 3 travel free of charge, though no seat will be reserved for them on the coach. Older children require a standard booking.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour runs in most weather conditions. The itinerary may be adjusted due to weather or traffic, but the experience itself is not cancelled for rain — bring a layer and waterproof just in case.

How long is the full day?

The tour runs from 7:00 AM to approximately 8:15 PM — just over 13 hours in total, including travel time to and from Paris.
