Overview

This deluxe Loire Valley bike tour offers you the experience of what the French call "joie de vivre". The French made an art of enjoying the small things, and they know how to slow down and savor each moment. Often called the "Garden of France", the Loire Valley is an enchanted land of vineyards, flowers, and rolling green hills dotted with more than a thousand chateaux. It is perhaps the charm of its gentle paced life that has, for centuries, made it a sought-after location for poets and writers. Discover its wonderful treasures of art and architecture as you cycle Loire, and taste the delectable regional cuisine as well as its world-famous wines. Accommodations on this deluxe bike tour are in chateaux hotels or boutique accommodations, which offer a romantic and relaxing experience. Be sure to consider booking the optional excursion day and the Chateaux entrance package!
