My sis & I took an all day tour one year that was called Chateaux of the Loire Valley. It was through Cityrama & went to Chambord (I was ready to move right in!), Chenonceau, & Cheverny. I brought back a small tapestry of Chambord & my sis made it into a throw pillow cover. Delightful memories! Also an all day trip to the Normandy landing beaches would probably be interesting to the men in your party & you'd like the beautiful countryside, too. The area is beautiful & a lot of our young soldiers are buried there.
