Today we deviated from the main route to visit the moated castle of Chenonceau. The country road was excellent and very secluded, so we were happy to forgo the nonexistent bike path. From Chenonceaux to Tours, the bike path was again very well signposted. The surface, like the entire Loire Cycle Route, was almost entirely paved.

Today away from the Loire to Chenonceau, next to Chambord THE number in the Val de Loire when it comes to weekend cottages. It's kinda cool what they built back then...
