Once upon a time there was a Bike Trip...

A receptive agency in the Loire Valley, in the Pays des Châteaux.

 

A story, that of Christine, the founder.
I was born in Orléans and grew up on the banks of the Loire, at the gates of Sologne and the great Renaissance Châteaux.
The Loire Valley is a magnificent region that I never tire of exploring. From childhood I was amazed by all these castles worthy of fairy tales and impressed by the power of this river with a thousand faces. Since then, passion has continued to fuel my curiosity and my desire to understand, discover and rediscover this region, now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
So, after studying tourism and great personal and professional experiences, driven by the desire to share my experiences and my passion, I decided to create the Trip à Vélo agency.
