Discover the magic of the Loire Valley on an exclusive cycling tour from Tours to Orléans. Travel at your pace and explore the region’s most enchanting and hidden treasures, with several carefully selected visits each day, including at least one magnificent château or historic house daily. Wander through iconic landmarks such as the elegant Château de Chambord and Muséum Leonardo da Vinci, along with hidden gems known only to locals.

On this tour, you will travel at your own pace through the heart of the Loire Valley, visiting 5 to 6 of the most prestigious châteaux in the region (Amboise, Chaumont, Blois, Cheverny, Chambord, and Beaugency). You will also visit the final home and museum of Leonardo da Vinci, as well as the House of Magic dedicated to Robert-Houdin, a world-renowned magician.

During the journey, you will enjoy a boat trip on the Loire in Blois to observe local wildlife, visit an underground wine cellar with a tasting of Vouvray wines, explore a historic abbey, and visit a local chocolate producer in Orléans.

The tour also includes 5 dinners, either at your host’s table d’hôte or in local restaurants, allowing you to discover regional cuisine and wines.

Each evening, unwind in charming bed & breakfasts set within historic homes and even authentic château estates, where heritage, comfort, and French art de vivre come together. This immersive journey blends culture, history, architecture, and refined hospitality for an unforgettable Loire Valley experience.
