Overview

Designed for self-guided cycling, this loop from Blois threads quiet Loire à Vélo paths and country lanes through forests, vineyards and fields of poppies and sunflowers. Over five days, rides link river towns and key châteaux: Chaumont-sur-Loire, Amboise and Leonardo’s Clos Lucé; the arches of Chenonceau over the Cher; Cheverny, inhabited by the same family for over six centuries; and the grand scale of Chambord with its double-helix staircase.
