Amboise
Luxury Loire Valley Cycling Tour: Châteaux & Vineyards DeluxeThis is the Loire Valley at its most refined — a cycling journey through the heartland of French Renaissance art, set against a backdrop of vineyards, orchards, and some of the most celebrated châteaux in the world. Every evening, you will retire to a sumptuous 4-star or 5-star château-hotel where history, elegance, and modern comfort blend seamlessly.
Your ride will begin and end in Amboise, the royal town where Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years. From here, you will follow the Loire à Vélo and Indre à Vélo cycling paths through the vineyards of Montlouis, the vibrant half-timbered squares of Tours, and the winding banks of the Indre river to the romantic Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, floating on its mirror of water and greenery.
The route will carry you past Chenonceau — the iconic château spanning the Cher river — through the medieval village of Montrichard, and into the mysterious forests of the Sologne, where the colossal Château de Chambord rises with its 440 rooms and legendary double-helix staircase. A gourmet lunch at the foot of Chambord and two days of spa access at the Château d'Artigny are woven into the journey.
With gentle daily distances of 40 to 55 kilometres on flat to rolling terrain, this tour is designed for those who want to savour every pedal stroke, every glass of Vouvray, and every golden hour spent in a château garden.
