The Experience

Your Loire Valley adventure begins with a swift high-speed train journey from Paris to Tours. Upon arrival, meet your guide at the nearby tourist office before transferring to the beautiful Château de Villesavin, where you'll be fitted with your electric bike and helmet.

Cycle through the enchanting Loire Valley countryside on flat, scenic roads as you make your way to the magnificent Château de Chambord. This Renaissance masterpiece, possibly designed in part by Leonardo da Vinci, is one of France's largest and most elaborate castles, originally built as a "hunting lodge" for King François I.

After exploring Chambord's famous double-spiral staircase and grand apartments, enjoy a snack break at the Biscuiterie de Chambord before having time for lunch (not included).

Cycle back to the charming Château de Villesavin, known as the "Little Hut of the Building Yards." This intimate castle offers an authentic glimpse into Renaissance nobility with its Carriage Museum, Bridal Museum, and lovely gardens.

Return to Tours by comfortable minibus for your evening train back to Paris, having experienced the Loire Valley's beauty from a unique and active perspective.
