Linking Paris with the Seine and Loing valleys, this week-long bike-and-barge tour moves at an easy, steady pace, combining gentle daily rides (29–49 km on mostly flat terrain) with relaxed cruising and evenings on a comfort barge. The route threads from the city’s riversides to royal forests and small towns—Barbizon’s artist legacy, the chateau and Royal Gardens at Fontainebleau, medieval Moret-sur-Loing and Nemours, and canal-laced Montargis.
