How to Get to Château de Beauregard
A short drive from Blois, an easy day trip from Tours — here is how to reach Château de Beauregard by car, train and taxi.
Beauregard stands at 12 chemin de la Fontaine in Cellettes, about 10 km south of Blois and 7 km from Blois-Chambord station, at 47°32′12.9″N 1°22′59.2″E. Paris is roughly two hours away by the A10, exiting at Blois. You do not need a car: the Rémi “Navette Châteaux” shuttle serves the estate from Blois-Chambord station in season, and the site is “Accueil Vélo” certified on a waymarked cycling loop. This guide covers road, rail, the shuttle, cycling, parking, and the 600-metre walk that ends every one of them.
How do I get there from Blois?
Blois is the natural base. Cellettes lies about ten kilometres south of it, reached on departmental roads through gently rolling country — the terrain around the village runs between 72 and 105 metres of elevation, so there is nothing demanding about the approach. We do not publish a drive time, because no authoritative source gives one and traffic through Blois varies; ten kilometres of D-road is the honest figure to plan against. The estate's address is 12 chemin de la Fontaine, 41120 Cellettes, and its published coordinates are 47°32′12.9″N 1°22′59.2″E — worth entering directly, since Cellettes is locally known as the village of eighteen châteaux, most of them private.
Without a car there are three options from Blois. The seasonal Rémi “Navette Châteaux” shuttle leaves from Blois-Chambord station, 7 km from the estate, and ran 4 April to 1 November in 2026. Outside those dates a taxi from the station or the town centre is the reliable fallback, and it is a short enough hop to stay practical. The third is the bike: Beauregard sits on Boucle 04 of the Châteaux à Vélo network, which starts from Cellettes and can be joined from Blois, and the estate is about 5 km from the Loire à Vélo route. Bike racks are provided near the ticket office.
How do I get there from Tours or further afield?
Tours works as a base, but we will not publish a distance or a drive time for it — no source we trust gives one, and a plausible-looking number is worse than none. Route via Blois and treat Beauregard as an addition to a Blois-centred day rather than the anchor of a Tours-centred one. From Paris the figure is sourced: about two hours by the A10 Paris–Tours–Bordeaux motorway, exiting at Blois. By rail from further afield, the seasonal shuttle from Blois-Chambord station is timed to connect with trains arriving from Paris-Austerlitz and Orléans, which makes a car-free day trip from Paris genuinely workable inside the shuttle season.
There is no direct train to Cellettes from anywhere, so every rail itinerary ends the same way: Blois-Chambord station, then 7 km by shuttle or taxi. Plan around the station rather than the château. If you are combining sites, Rémi Line 2 runs year-round from Blois-Chambord station to Chambord in about 35 minutes, which is the dependable public link when the seasonal château shuttle is not operating. Beauregard sits inside the Blois–Chambord–Chaumont–Cheverny quadrilateral, so pairing it with one neighbour in a day is straightforward. Reception languages on site are listed as French and English, with German and Spanish also listed by the Blois-Chambord tourist office.
Can I get there by train?
Blois-Chambord is the nearest station, 7 km from the estate, with connections from Paris-Austerlitz, Orléans and Tours; the estate's own access page points visitors to ter.sncf.com for timetables. From the platform your onward options are the seasonal château shuttle, a taxi, or a bike. Do not plan to walk it — 7 km of departmental road, followed by a further 600 m of winding path from the ticket office to the château itself, is not a sensible arrival on foot. If you are arriving by train and leaving the same day, build your return around the ticket office closing 30 minutes before the site, not around the site's own closing time.
A rail-based day works best in the middle of the season. The shuttle window of 4 April to 1 November is narrower than the visiting season of 3 April to 11 November, which leaves the opening day and the final ten days without it — taxi only. Hours matter too: in the 26 October–11 November block the site closes at 17:30 with the ticket office shut from 17:00, so a late-morning train from Paris leaves very little margin once you add the 7 km transfer and the 600 m walk. In July and August, with the site open to 19:00, the same train is comfortable.
Does a shuttle bus serve Beauregard?
Yes. The Rémi “Navette Châteaux” does serve Beauregard — the estate's own access page sends visitors to remi-centrevaldeloire.fr for the timetable, and the Azalys network lists Beauregard among the stops. In 2026 it ran 4 April to 1 November, departing from Blois-Chambord station and timed to meet trains from Orléans and Paris-Austerlitz. One detail to check rather than assume: the two published route descriptions disagree on which other châteaux share the service — one lists Chambord, Cheverny and Beauregard, the other Chaumont, Cheverny and Beauregard. Beauregard appears in both, so the estate itself is not in doubt; the rest of your itinerary might be. The service connects with trains at the station rather than running independently of them, so read the timetable against your arrival time rather than against the château's opening hours.
Treat the timetable as seasonal rather than fixed. Dates, stops and frequencies are republished each year, and the 2026 window closed on 1 November while the château stayed open to 11 November. If your dates fall outside it, or the route changes, the year-round alternative is Rémi Line 2 from the same station to Chambord, roughly 35 minutes, plus a taxi for the last leg to Cellettes. Check the current timetable through the link on the estate's access page rather than a cached PDF. And whichever service you take, remember the drop-off is not the door: the château stands 600 m from the ticket office along winding paths.
Can I get there by bike?
Beauregard holds the national “Accueil Vélo” mark as a visitor and leisure site, which is the practical signal that arriving by bike is expected rather than merely tolerated. It sits directly on Boucle 04, “Entre Vignobles & Châteaux”, of the Châteaux à Vélo network: 25.5 km, about three hours, rated facile, starting from Cellettes, with a minimum altitude of 72 m, a maximum of 105 m and roughly 161 m of total ascent. The route is waymarked in green and white with a “4” badge, runs mostly on quiet minor roads with some dedicated cycle sections, and crosses the Beuvron on footbridges. A shorter western variant, Boucle 04A, runs 16 km from Cheverny.
The loop connects outward as well as around. It can be linked to La Loire à Vélo at Blois or at Chailles, and the estate's access page puts the site about 5 km from that route — close enough to fold Beauregard into a Loire cycling day without a long detour. On arrival, bike racks are provided near the ticket office, and the park itself may be explored by bike for a supplement, which is the fastest way to cover 40 hectares of grounds; bike hire is listed among the site's services. Given the 600 m between the ticket office and the château, riding in is one of the few arrivals where the last stretch is not an afterthought.
Where do I park, and what happens once I arrive?
There is a car park on site, with bicycle parking alongside it. From there the château is 600 m away along winding paths — the single most under-communicated fact about arriving at Beauregard, and the one that catches out families with pushchairs, tight schedules and late arrivals. Allow ten to fifteen minutes each way. The ticket office closes 30 minutes before the site, so the last practical arrival is earlier again: 18:00 in the spring and early-autumn blocks, 18:30 in July and August, 17:00 from 26 October. Facilities at the ticket-office end include a shop, catering, a picnic area, a play area and luggage storage.
Access inside the château is ground floor only for visitors with reduced mobility — that is the limit of what the estate publishes, and we would rather state it plainly than imply more. The site is listed as Tourisme & Handicap certified, and admission is free for visitors with disabilities and for children under five. What is not documented anywhere we could find: path surfaces, accessible parking, wheelchair loan, and whether the 600 m approach is manageable unaided. If any of those decide your visit, call ahead on 02 54 70 41 65. Dogs are welcome on a lead in the park and gardens, and indoors only if carried or in a carrier.
