No wonder the French nobility chose the Loire Valley, the “Garden of France,” as a favorite place for relaxation. Today’s traveler can feel like a noble too, enjoying this region’s natural beauty and pleasant microclimate. Our Loire Valley trip invites the epicure! Fine wine, excellent cuisine, superb accommodations entice and delight the senses. The Loire, known as the playground for French nobility, offers us their legacy of more than 100 chateaux, ranging from fortified castles to elegant Renaissance mansions. Not only will we visit a number of them, but also they will be our home for three nights.

Fairy tale chateaux, picturesque countryside, rolling vineyards and the backdrop of the Loire River offer splendid reasons to cycle here. You’ll marvel at art treasures and architecture of the feudal, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. History will accompany you throughout your trip with echoes of Joan of Arc and Leonardo da Vinci.

This tour is suited for all riding levels. The terrain includes both flat and rolling sections, with moderate cycling distances. Our route follows the most scenic and traffic-free country roads, and you can opt to shorten or lengthen many of the rides.
