Tour description
Embark on a cycling journey through the Loire Valley from Blois to Angers, passing iconic sites such as Chambord, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Amboise, Chenonceau, Azay-le-Rideau, Chinon, Fontevraud, and Saumur.
An immersive cycling holiday between Blois and Angers
From Blois to Angers, you’ll discover the many faces of the Loire Valley. Quiet cycle paths and small rural roads guide you past some of the region’s most celebrated Renaissance châteaux, including Chambord, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chenonceau, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, and Ussé — the château that inspired the Sleeping Beauty fairytale.
This stretch of the Loire also hides treasures such as the Abbey of Fontevraud and impressive medieval fortresses like Langeais, Chinon, and Angers, the latter home to the largest known medieval tapestry.
Along the way, you’ll experience the shifting colors of the Loire landscape and spot traditional “toues,” the flat-bottomed boats that glide between the river’s sandbanks. And no visit to this region would be complete without a taste of its renowned wines — notably those from the Chinon and Saumur vineyards.
