Routard Guide - Loir Valley by Bike | Hachette

The Loir Valley by bike,which winds for 320 km from the borders of Beauce to the Loire Valley, is one of the most charming cycle routes in France.
 
Discover the stunning landscapes of ponds and meadows, undergrowth and forests that characterize the valley, picturesque villages, troglodyte houses dug into the tuffeau stone, and a myriad of castles... This is a small, discreet paradise just 40 km north of the Loire.
A good twenty signposted circuits around the main route allow you to make discovery loops of the vineyards and the rich natural and cultural heritage of the area.
 
• Favorites illustrated;
• a color map for each stage;
• an address book for each route for renting a bike, finding accommodation and places to eat;
• maps and zooms on the main towns.
