The closest airport to the chateau is Tours Val de Loire Airport (TUF) but it is a smaller, regional airport and tends to be significantly more expensive.


Your best bet is to fly into Paris at either Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) or Paris-Orly (ORY). These airports are bigger and more affordable. From there you can rent a car (dont worry, they drive on the right side of the road) and drive to the Loire Valley. Alternatively, you can take the train to Alencon from either airport. We can pick you up from there! Just let us know you need a lift to your hotel.

France has a pretty sophisticated train system. Getting to Alencon from ORY or CDG is a train ride away. Need a lift from the Alencon train station to your hotel? Give us a call!
