Self-guided Family Cycling Tour - Blois to Amboise

On the Loire à Vélo cycling paths and signposted itineraries, our short stages bring you to the most prestigious Châteaux: from Blois to the Château de Chambord, to the medieval city of Amboise, the last home of Leonardo Da Vinci.

Your children will love the Natural Bathing Pool near Chambord which is a real environmental feat.
