Known for its wonderful wines, exquisite Châteaux and glorious countryside, the Loire valley also boasts a very impressive cycle-path network, making it an ideal choice for a cycling holiday
The Loire Cycle Path wends its way through this magical valley beside the the Loire River, unveiling quaint villages, historic towns and, of course, opulent Châteaux. The terrain is just undulating enough to make it interesting without becoming too strenuous.
Our very popular, Loire Châteaux Cycling Holiday showcases the area's magnificent castles while the Orleans to Saumur route is the best all-rounder for cyclists who haven't been to the region before. We also offer a number of shorter 3 and 5 night breaks for those who only have a few days.
Our easy cycling holidays offer short daily rides on mostly level terrain. A typical day’s ride will take 2 – 3 hours at a leisurely pace and the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore further or simply relax. These rides are particularly recommended for newcomers to cycling holidays and for families.
Our leisurely cycle holidays will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another – not necessarily cycling. On the whole, the terrain will be level but there may also be a few small hills to contend with along the way too. Daily rides will typically take around 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Our moderate cycle holidays are for regular cyclists, who are used to longer rides with regular climbs. A good level of fitness is needed and you can expect to be in the saddle for between 4 and 5 hours each day.
These holidays are for seasoned cyclists who cycle long distances regularly and who enjoy the thrill of long days in the saddle. There will undoubtedly be some challenging climbs along the way and you can expect to cover between 55 and 75 miles each day.
