Citybreak in Tours by bike

3 days / 2 nights
Enjoy the Loire Valley's gentle way of life and savor the pleasures of the terroir on this 100% car-free trip.

Set off on a gentle, exotic getaway without a car in the heart of the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
For three days, let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Loire landscapes, the richness of the heritage and the gourmet pleasures of the region. By bike, take the iconic Loire à Vélo route and experience a concentration of culture, nature and art de vivre.
 
Day 1 - Artistic immersion in Tours
Welcome to Tours, the vibrant capital of the Loire Valley. Begin your stay with a visit to the Olivier Debré Centre for Contemporary Creation (CCCOD), a bold architectural gem dedicated to contemporary art.
Stroll through the galleries, soak up the creativity of the place, then continue your discovery of the city at your own pace.
In the evening, enjoy dinner in a restaurant selected for its local cuisine before returning to your comfortable hotel in the heart of the city.

Day 2 - Between vineyards and cave dwellings
Head east by bike, peacefully cycling along the banks of the Loire. You will reach Rochecorbon, a charming village nestled at the foot of tuffeau cliffs, in the heart of the Vouvray vineyards.
Enter a troglodytic cellar for a guided tour full of freshness and mystery, between galleries dug into the rock and the secrets of winemaking.
The highlight of the visit: a guided tasting of Vouvray wines, both sparkling and still.
Return to Tours for another dinner and a comfortable night at the hotel.

Day 3 - Bucolic ride and remarkable gardens
Saddle up for a trip westwards! Follow an old towpath to Savonnières, a pretty village on the banks of the Cher, where the silhouettes of traditional flat-bottomed boats still float.
Continue on to Villandry and marvel at the French gardens and Renaissance château, true jewels of the Loire Valley.
