A magical region, world-famous for its marvellous châteaux, magnificent rivers and delicious wines.
Playground to the French and English royal families for over 1000 years, this is truly the heart of fairy-tale France - illustrated perfectly by the high number of spectacular castles on route. Like drawings in a children’s book, they have been carefully preserved for all to enjoy, complete with underground tunnels, moats and beautiful gardens.
Visit these fabulous once-royal homes and ancient riverside towns, pedal peacefully along the Loire à Vélo cycle path amidst birdsong and the aroma of hollyhocks... and sample world famous wines as you weave your way through sun-baked vineyards on your Loire cycling holiday.
We love
Warm breezes filled with the smell of roses and ripening melons, stopping on impulse for degustation (wine tasting) in tiny vineyards, the gardeners’ paradise at Villandry, and the spectacular Son et Lumière at the chateaux.
