Overview

From Blois, you cycle in the heart of the Loire Valley, in the country of castles. You will discover its secrets through one of the most beautiful cycling itineraries in France, La Loire à Vélo. Embark on the banks of the longest French river, between vineyards and castles, for a bicycle trip totally out of time. Cycling along the Loire River is the pleasure of riding along these serene banks, hemmed in by forests, fields of sunflowers and bright tufa houses. It is also the joy of letting yourself be carried along the river and between the hillsides by this moderate relief and this green valley extending as far as the eye can see.
