Chaumont-sur-Loire
【City description】
It’s a small town on the banks of the Loire river. The castle is on a hill. Although it’s a fortress, the façade is elegant. The international garden festival takes place every year and many participants and visitors come from all over the world. The castle is far from the station, but it’s worth to visit only the castle.

①Onzain station
Onzain
★Although it’s far from the station to the castle, there is no bus. But there is a shuttle bus from Blois or Onzain when the international garden festival takes place. The shuttle bus runs everyday between July and August. But it’s only on weekend and national holidays in other months of the festival. The ticket is 4.15 euros for one way.
If there is no bus, go to Gén de Gaulle Avenue in front of the station and turn right after a bridge. It takes 25 minutes by walk.
