France Biking: Burgundy & Loire Valley

Burgundy and the Loire Valley are a cyclist’s dream come true. Picture yourself pedaling along quiet country roads and past elegant châteaux—dreaming about which world-famous wine you’ll taste next. Your biking adventure begins in historic Burgundy, where the charming city of Beaune welcomes you with open arms and full glasses of Pinot Noir. Next up is the Loire Valley, aptly nicknamed the “Garden of France” due to the abundance of orchards, gardens, and vineyards everywhere you look. Here, you’ll be surrounded by postcard-worthy scenery like the iconic Château de Chambord and delightful medieval towns like Amboise and Cheverny, all while sipping on crisp Sauvignon Blanc, the region’s signature white wine. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of exploration and indulgence, you’ve come to the right tour.
