May 15, 2025,🇨🇵 Von Tours nach Amboise - Rundtour

From the campsite in Saint-Avertin, I first head back to Tours. Leaving the busy city traffic behind, I continue on well-signposted paths, sometimes along the Loire, sometimes through small towns and vineyards, to Amboise. I cross the river and cycle back down the opposite bank to Tours, then back to the campsite.

July 23, 2023,Schlösser der Loire 8. Etappe: Amboise - Tours🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🌦

Today we started our way back to Tours from Amboise. The weather wasn't quite as stable. Shortly before Montlouis-sur-Loire it started raining, so we first looked at the beautiful church of St. Laurentius and then took a coffee break☕️.
In Tours the cathedral was on the way to the hotel. We took the opportunity to visit here.
