Bike ride from Fontevraud to Saumur, Loire Valley, France. Twenty kilometers of bicycle from Fontevraud and arrived at the gates
From the foothills of the Massif Central to the beaches of the Atlantic, the Loire by bike follows the banks of Europe’s last great wild river. Over almost 900 km, an exceptional diversity of landscapes is on offer to lovers of nature and heritage. In Touraine, to be precise, cycling along the Loire River itinerary takes you to the heart of the Val de Loire and its great châteaux, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For just under 100 km, your knurls will take you to the ramparts of Amboise, the lively heart of the city of Tours, the entrance to the gardens of Villandry or the walls of the royal fortress of Chinon. The castles of Langeais and Ussé are also on your route, as is the great aquarium of Touraine. And that’s not all! Antennas allow you to deviate from the main route, to reach the castles of Chenonceau and Azay-le-Rideau, The Rétro Mecanic City Maurice Dufresne, the Haute Couture gardens, the Royal City of Loches, but also to catch up with other major routes such as the Indre by bike, Cœur de France by bike (Val de Cher – Canal de Berry) or even the Camino de Santiago by bike. Note also that in Chinon, a greenway leads to the “ideal city” of Richelieu, via the fairy-tale gardens of the Château du Rivau.
