Biking in the Loire Valley Tour
Start your day traveling by high-speed TGV train from Paris to the charming city of Tours in the Loire Valley. In just an hour, you’ll arrive in Tours and walk two minutes to the tourist office to meet your guide. After a quick transfer to Château de Villesavin, you’ll be fitted with your e-bike and helmet.
From there, you’ll cycle through scenic countryside lanes to visit the grand Château de Chambord, rumored to have been partly designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Enjoy a quick snack (included) at the Biscuiterie de Chambord, then tour the amazing castle itself.
You’ll have free time afterward for lunch (not included) before riding back to Château de Villesavin for another guided tour. Finally, return by minibus to the train station in Tours for your trip back to Paris.
Overall, you’ll peddle about 14 miles via e-bike over flat land at a leisurely pace.
About the Castles
Château de Chambord – Created under King François I, Chambord’s iconic renaissance design may have involved Leonardo da Vinci. Originally a “hunting lodge,” it’s actually one of the largest and most elaborate castles in France, featuring a vast spiral staircase system, enormous stables, and a 13,000-acre game preserve. It’s the ultimate symbol of Loire Valley grandeur.
Château de Villesavin – Nicknamed the “Little Hut of the Building Yards,” Villesavin was built by Jean Le Breton, the finance secretary for King François I. He built the castle while overseeing Chambord’s construction. Today, it offers an authentic glimpse into Renaissance nobility. Tour its Carriage Museum, Bridal Museum, and lovely gardens to discover the estate’s unique history and charm.
