Discover the Loire Valley castles by bike with Le Petit Futé

Need to recharge your batteries? Tired of the subway, of traffic jams? Want to leave the city, discover new horizons, perfect your historical and architectural knowledge while enjoying wide open spaces and engaging in a pleasant physical activity at your own pace and according to your desires? Look no further, Le Petit Futé has thought of you with this new edition of the guide to the most beautiful bike rides in the Loire Châteaux region.

Discovering the Loire Châteaux by bike means exploring a true part of French culture and history. This new edition, rich with 48 suggested routes, produced in partnership with the French Cycling Tourism Federation, gives you all the good tips and routes to enjoy your rides along rivers, the wild river, or majestic royal forests.

The many Loire Châteaux such as Chambord, Amboise, Azay-le-Rideau, and Chenonceau will welcome you for a large part of the year in an idyllic setting. Lively, fun, and cultural, the visits adapt to everyone, whether with family, as a couple, or with friends, to discover the floral riches in the traditional gardens of the Loire Valley, designed as true “outdoor living rooms” during the Renaissance.

Cycling is accessible to the greatest number of people because it is devoid of any notion of performance. That’s good: the region offers routes without great difficulties for a break in the charming villages that border the Loire.
