Amboise from above

Highlight • River

Nestled above Amboise, you will find a viewpoint from which you can contemplate the rooftops of Amboise and the Loire below. A short climb that is worth it and a worthy reward.

Le Clos Lucé – Leonardo da Vinci

Highlight • Castle

The Château du Clos Lucé was the summer residence of several kings of France, until François I placed it at the disposal of Lénoard de Vinci who lived there for 3 years, until his death in 1519.
Today the Château du Clos Lucé showcases all the genius of Leonardo da Vinci through a permanent exhibition retracing and explaining many discoveries and inventions of Italian genius. The park is very pretty and can also be visited. Bike parking is available inside the park.

Amboise Forest Crossing

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

A perfect route to travel during the heat of summer: a few kilometers cool under the trees, on a perfect surface. This route can be taken from Blois to reach the Cher à Vélo and Tours, as an alternative to the Loire à Vélo. This lengthens the distance, but the drop is less.

Lock and riverside scenery along the Cher

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Loire and its tributaries are a wonderful cycling area. The route now follows the Cher towards Tours. Leisure captains and lock keepers wave to the cyclists. Cycling is a relaxing pleasure here.

Superb view of the Château de Chenonceau

Highlight • River

It goes on gravel, but if you are careful it can be done for a few meters on the way to see the castle from its best point of view!

View of Chenonceau Castle from the cycle path

Highlight • Castle

Chenonceau Castle has the unique feature of being built partly on a bridge spanning the Cher River. It was Catherine de Medici who, wishing to have sumptuous parties, was at the origin of this idea. The first floor of the "bridge" was entirely given over to numerous dances. Chenonceau is one of the most visited castles of the Loire castles and is also nicknamed the home of the ladies. It thus belonged successively to Diane de Poitiers then to Catherine de Médicis (respectively the lover and the legitimate wife of Henri III King of France) but also to Louise Marie Madeleine Guillaume de Fontaine, by her marriage Madame Dupin, who was born in Paris on October 28, 1706 and died in her Château de Chenonceau on November 20, 1799. A woman of spirit, famous for her beauty, Louise Dupin was also a personality of the Age of Enlightenment and held brilliant literary salons. She notably received Voltaire, the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, Fontenelle, Marivaux, Montesquieu, Buffon, Marmontel, Mably, Condillac, Grimm, Bernis and Rousseau. In the park of Chenonceau, on this side of the river, is the impressive tomb of this lady. This tomb is inspired by antiquity and is supported at the corners by large lion paws. You can enter the tomb for free.

Lavoir de Mosnes

Highlight • Other

The beautiful Mosnes washhouse has an oval-shaped basin. It is fed by a spring. At the bottom, there is a low-water gauge to check the flood level of the nearby Loire River.
