Fairy-tale castles, riverside paths, charming
villages and some of Frances finest wines…the Loire Valley
tour is all you could want in a cycling holiday.
Our Safari starts in Samur on the banks of the Loire, the
longest river in France. Our cycle through the “Garden of
France” is mainly flat along small roads and occasional
tracks. There is time to explore many of the famous castles
of the region, from the incredible underground chateu at
Brézé to the spectaculter Chateu Usse (inspiration for the
castle in Sleeping Beauty). In the evening time, after sampling
some delicious French cuisine, we may have the opportunity
to see the chateu from a new angle as the spectacular son
et lumière shows light up the castle against the night sky.
Our final night is spent in Amboise with its iconic Royal
Castle and neighbouring Clos-Luce manor, the onetime home
of Leonardo da Vinci. As you pack away the cycling shorts
and enjoy a final glass of wine, you will already be planning
your return to this magical and captivating region.
