Cycling Tours Loire Valley

With their turrets and flamboyant architecture reflected in the waters of the river, the Loire chateaux provide one of the classic images of France. Created for the French kings and aristocracy by Flemish and Italian craftsmen during the Renaissance, they and their intricate gardens help to make the Loire one of the country’s most beautiful regions.

The landscape of the Loire includes attractive – and famous – vineyards, as well as orchards and pastures, remnants of royal hunting forests and, of course, the magnificent chateaux. There’s no better way to explore the region than by bike or by foot, stopping as you please to sample some of the area’s famous cuisine.

This week long trip included 6 days of gentle peddling and about 300km covered. It was called Cycling the Loire Valley but is no longer listed as an offered tour. The biking was perfect, not too demanding and almost entirely off-road. We visited unbelievable castles, palaces, monasteries, and vineyards. The wine tastings were first rate. The food was unbelievable. The hotels were centrally located and lovely. The wine was out of this world. The bikes were just perfect for the terrain. I tend to be very critical of everything- I couldn’t find anything to criticize about this trip. I don’t know why you don’t offer it now

The Loire Valley itinerary was the perfect mix of walking and hiking, visiting the lovely chateau and local wineries, and enjoying wonderful food and wine at charming local restaurants. The Vouvray “Brotherhood” ceremony was a unique experience and a fun, unexpected surprise.
