Day Trips of Distinction

You will be picked up at 10:30am from your hotel lobby for your private transfer (sedan or minivan) to the Paris Heliport.

Board the helicopter for a private one hour flight that takes you over Paris and westward towards Chartres.  On a clear day, you can admire the incredible cathedral from the air as you descend into this marvellous castle's estate.

In 1543, the archbishop of Tours had the Chateau d'Esclimont built.  The Count of Cheverny, Philippe Hurault, became its owner in 1580.  In 1639 it was sold to one of Henry IV's counsellors and then again to the Duke of Laval.  In 1807, after the owner married into the Rochefoucauld clan, it became part of their heritage.  It was sold from the descendants of that family to the current owners in 1981.

The restaurant, whose young chef was trained in the LeNôtre tradition, is lovely and the food is great.  You'll enjoy a gastronomic lunch (alcohol extra) and have time for a walk in the park before your return to Paris and your hotel by late-afternoon.
