WITH
Magali's TEAM | about the guide

This family-friendly tour of the Château de Chenonceau will take you inside one of the most beautiful, and elegantly decorated, châteaux in France. The second most visited château in the Loire Valley, Chenonceau is still fully furnished - unlike Chambord - making it one of the most charming highlights in the region. Accompanied by a local expert guide, you’ll discover the secrets of a château built and extended by 3 influential women (Katherine Briçonnet, Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici) over the Cher River. You’ll have no trouble imagining what life was like for its past royal inhabitants as you explore the sumptuous rooms, gardens and maze. Specially adapted for children and led by an experienced guide, this interactive tour will make learning about French Renaissance history and art fun for all the family.

Please note: Children must be accompanied by an adult. If needed, an accompanying person can be arranged for an additional fee

After my business studies at HEC interspersed with abroad experiences in the luxury and fashion sector, I worked for 4 years in a consulting firm before launching my dream concept: high-end tourism for families, following a request customers had, looking for activities to do in Paris with their children. By creating my own company, I could serve all my passions at once: cooking, culture and my adopted city of Paris, whose secrets I all know. London was also part of the adventure because it is one of my host cities. Having the attention for detail and quality, I offer tailor-made tours in various European destinations such as of Paris, Loire Valley, and London, Rome and Florence for families wishing to explore these places with their children in an original way and without having to worry about logistics. With my small team of passionate professionals, we developed themed itineraries in the best places, adding for each of them some high-quality activities suitable for children of all ages and interests. Visit the Louvre Museum during a treasure hunt followed by a painting course, relapse in the novel and film The Da Vinci Code with an orientation game, discover French tradition while making the iconic baguette, visit the artistic village of Montmartre while learning french, explore Rome and learn about its history through specially-designed stories, quizzes and games or discover the life of Galileo the famous astronomer and his inventions through a visit to his museum. These are few examples of our organized family tours which allow parents to spend quality time with their children.

Catherine was amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She even took a few extra minutes at the beginning to greet all 3 of my children in French (which I was hoping she’d do!), because they’re trying to learn the language. We had a group of 9 people ranging in age from 7 to 80, and she captivated all of us with the history and stories of Chenonceau. Hers was exactly the kind of knowledge depth we were hoping to find in a guide, and I would book another UTF tour in a heartbeat!
