This region is almost always an add-on, not a two-week trip of its own. Keep the suitcase still.
2 days from Paris
Train to Tours or Amboise, one château the afternoon you arrive, a second the next morning, evening train or a second night.
3 nights
Two interiors, one full Loire à Vélo stretch, and a château-hôtel if the budget stretches. This is the version people remember.
