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.

Follow the peaceful Loire River banks and ride through the enchanting Sologne Forest dotted with hidden treasures up to the Château de Cheveny/Captain Haddock's Marlinspike!

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