Loire Valley

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.
