august 2026 A family tour exploring the Loire Valley castles by mountain bike
Translated from French
I liked the idea of ​​this 4-day cycling trip. The bike was good quality, yes, but we didn't get our return luggage until 4:30 pm, and we had a 6-hour drive ahead of us. It's a shame; it would have been nice to have the luggage delivered earlier. It delayed us, and we had to drive home late. Furthermore, the paths were difficult. Some sections were very technical, with rocky climbs and large potholes—almost unsuitable. It's advertised as a beginner route, but I think it's more of an intermediate one.

august 2026 Cycle with your family in the heart of the Loire Valley castles
Translated from French
Cycling the Loire Valley castles was lovely, however, I opted to rent hybrid bikes from the local agency, but we were quite disappointed with the quality of the bikes we rented. They were heavy and not well-suited for 40 to 50 km a day; they should at least have aluminum frames and better quality derailleurs. It felt like we were pulling a plow every time we encountered an incline, despite having mountain biking experience year-round. The accommodation was rustic, but it matched the description. The region is very pleasant, offering a mix of sports, good food, and historical sites.

Good morning,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on this wonderful getaway along the Loire Valley châteaux. I'm delighted to know that you enjoyed the region's charms, from challenging climbs and heritage sites to excellent restaurants! However, the experience with the bike definitely detracts from the enjoyment: when you're a mountain biker year-round, riding a bike that's too heavy and feels like you're pulling a plow uphill quickly becomes very frustrating on 50-kilometer days. We'll pass on your technical details directly to our field experts and the team on site so they can quickly adjust the equipment offered for this route. We look forward to equipping you for your next cycling adventure!

The Sun King had better watch out


Who hasn't secretly dreamed of living like a lord or lady of the manor? Head to the Loire Valley region and its world-renowned castles. From Chambord with its unique architecture, to the Royal Château of Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci's final resting place, or the Château de Chenonceau with its splendid gardens… Your Majesty, Your Majesty: the hardest part will be choosing your residence!
But the Loire Valley doesn't only shine because of its castles: it also boasts must-see cities like Angers or Blois, a rich and gourmet territory, and numerous walks along the banks of the last wild river in Europe.

Discover the region through sports during your trip

Pedal, it makes you happy


The Loire Valley boasts over 5,000 km of dedicated cycle paths to explore. So hop on your best bike and let the adventure begin!
Young and old alike can find the pace that suits them best. The region is relatively flat, and the routes are suitable for all levels and are also perfectly safe.
Enjoy an active holiday with family or friends and cycle across the Loire River, passing through Touraine. And why not explore Berry and Perche? You'll be surprised by the many must-see and hidden gems you can discover.

Last call for supplies

Guilty pleasures this way!

Who said sports holidays were bland? You've worked up a good sweat, it's high time to recharge. And let me tell you, the region has no shortage of culinary specialties!
For savory palates, you can find the unmissable rillette from Tours, the andouillettes from Touraine, goat cheese crottins and other mushrooms highly appreciated by some gourmets such as the black truffle.
For those with a sweet tooth, the choice is just as vast. Indulge in the succulent nougat from Tours, the crémet d'Anjou, or the dried apples. And a little secret: the well-known LU and BN biscuits also come from the region. So why resist?

Another region that is perfect for exploring by bike, so why not visit Alsace for your next trip?
