This is our final leg of our two-week bike tour through France’s Loire Valley full of culture, and castles. After a rocky start, we ended the trip with wonderful memories.

Chenonceau, in France’s Loire Valley, is a picturesque Château. It should be high on everyone’s bucket list, especially castle lovers.

24 June On the morning of June 24th, we said goodbye to Blois and after a short 30km bike ride we arrived in Tours, our next target. I have to admit that I didn’t plan much in Tours. We wanted a castle tour and the chateau in Tours (pictured below) is a small, unassuming building…

Blois was a crossroads for our trip. Here we parked our car and took our bikes. Here begins our bike tour. But first a day in Blois, home to royalty.

The Loire Valley has an interesting place in French history, which will help bring alive the story of our bike tour and put these castles in a proper context.
