Day 1: Blois - Mosnes
30 km | D+ 143 m

Your cycling trip begins at Blois, gateway to the Loire castles. You leave the town with a beautiful panorama of its bell towers and its castle. After an escape on the peaceful roads of the alluvial plain, its meadows and its crops, you cycle along the banks of the Cosson to its confluence with the Loire and on a shaded cycle path which leads straight to Chaumont-sur-Loire. 

Get off your bike for a few hours, take the time to picnic on the banks of the Loire and observe the birds while watching the river flow gently. First known for its castle, the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire is today an essential site for its International Garden Festival with its original creations, renewed each year but always poetic, original and inspiring.

Votre randonnée se termine dans un beau manoir du XVIIIe niché au cœur d’un parc arboré. Profitez d’une pause détente d’une heure au spa de l’hôtel (piscine, sauna et hammam), installez-vous confortablement dans les transats du parc, prenez-place au restaurant pour dîner et laissez la soirée s’écouler paisiblement en rêvant déjà à votre prochaine balade à vélo.

    For children, we offer a wide range of solutions depending on their age: child seat, child trailer, follower bike, follow-me system.
