Cycling, castles, and country scenery
If you love cycling, castles, and country scenery, and you have a long weekend to spare, our escape in the riverfront Loire Valley is a dream come true!
Travel along the river through vineyards, peaceful farmland, and little villages that remind you of a fairytale. That there are so many châteaux to explore on flat, easy terrain makes it the perfect region for adults and children alike! As you ride through the UNESCO World Heritage landscape, you’ll be able to visit no fewer than nine castles — in only four days! You can’t miss the big names like the spectacularly large Chateau de Chambord and the oh-so-romantic Chateau de Chenonceau. No less intriguing are the Chateau de Blois, Chateau d’Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci’s beloved Chateau de Clos Luce, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chateau de Cheverny, Chateau de Beauregard, and the Chateau Fougeres-sur-Bievre. Of course, if you opt to skip a castle to spend more time cruising around on your bike, we completely understand!
