A fantastic single centre, self guided cycling tour in the heart of the Loire Valley.

Ali & Jon, the owners of Loire Life Cycling, host you throughout your stay and have developed cycle routes packed with chateaux, vineyards and stunning scenery

A self paced and flexible cycling tour, where each day you cycle different roads to different destinations:

  • See famous Loire chateaux including Villandry, Saumur, Azay le Rideau & Usse
  • Discover hidden gems the guide books miss
  • Enjoy a unique underground cycle route & wine tasting
  • Cycle the banks of the Loire exploring ‘Troglodyte’ villages carved from the cliff face
  • See the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud with the tomb of Richard the Lionheart
  • Lose yourself at French markets
  • Cycle through Loire Valley vineyards tasting the wines of Bourgueil, Saumur & Touraine
  • End each day relaxing in the pool and hot-tub, before enjoying a freshly cooked four course evening meal with wine
  • Enjoy the support of english speaking Loire Valley experts at all times

Cuisine on the Discovery Tour is as important as the cycling! We focus on local, seasonal produce, organic wherever possible and freshly prepared by Ali.
