Fairy-tale castles, riverside paths, charming villages and some of Frances finest wines?the Loire Valley tour is all you could want in a cycling holiday. Our Safari starts in Samur on the banks of the Loire, the longest river in France. Our cycle through the ?Garden of France? is mainly flat along small roads and occasional tracks. There is time to explore many of the famous castles of the region, from the incredible underground chateu at Br?z? to the spectaculter Chateu Usse (inspiration for the castle in Sleeping Beauty). In the evening time, after sampling some delicious French cuisine, we may have the opportunity to see the chateu from a new angle as the spectacular son et lumi?re shows light up the castle against the night sky. Our final night is spent in Amboise with its iconic Royal Castle and neighbouring Clos-Luce manor, the onetime home of Leonardo da Vinci. As you pack away the cycling shorts and enjoy a final glass of wine, you will already be planning your return to this magical and captivating region.
