Overview

This trip is a daydream. You'll stay in exceptional locations, specially chosen to guarantee a change of scenery and relaxation. Fall asleep at night in a comfortable château, hunting lodge or charming hotel, all reflecting the architectural excellence of the Loire Valley. In the heart of these royal estates, you will enjoy the services of your hotel (swimming pool, spa, treatments…) and the local and gourmet cuisine. From architectural wonders to vineyards, hop on your bike and ride through the Land of Kings. You'll cycle through some of the Loire's most beautiful scenery in an unspoilt natural environment. Starting in Tours, you'll step back in time as you pass through the gates of the many magnificent Loire castles along the way: Blois, Cheverny, Chenonceau, Amboise, to name only the most majestic. And finally, Chambord, a masterpiece of the Renaissance. If you're a lover of French elegance, this is the trip for you. Get ready to experience history in the country's richest valley.
