🚲Touraine, an ideal destination for bicycle tourism (h2)
The Loire à Vélo, a reference in cycle tourism (h3)
Crossed by the Loire, Touraine offers terrain particularly suitable for cyclists of all levels.
Thanks to its secure and well-marked routes like the famous Loire à Vélo, it is easy to travel through the region with complete peace of mind.
This cycle route extends over more than 900 kilometers, a large part of which crosses Touraine.
From Loches follow the “La Loire à Vélo” directions which will take you towards Chenonceau, Amboise or Chaumont-sur-Loire.
The route alternates between wild banks, Loire panoramas and historical heritage.
Indre by Bike, a bucolic alternative (h3)
Less busy but just as attractive, the Indre à Vélo crosses Touraine from east to west for nearly 200 kilometers.
Nicknamed the “little sister” of the Loire à Vélo, it offers a more confidential experience, in the heart of preserved nature.
This fully signposted route connects major sites such as the Château de Chenonceau, the Cité Royale de Loches, the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau and the fortress of Montbazon.
Charming villages and local gastronomy (h3)
Along your journey, stop off in typical villages like Candes-Saint-Martin or Montsoreau.
Also take the opportunity to discover local specialties such as Loire wines, rillettes, or goat cheeses. A well-deserved gourmet break after a few kilometers.
Accessible and varied itineraries (h3)
Whether you are with family, as a couple or with friends, the circuits adapt to all profiles.
The roads are mostly flat and run along the river or wind between vineyards and picturesque villages.
Loops also allow you to explore emblematic sites at your own pace.
