Description

Day 1: Nevers
Arrival in Nevers. Take the opportunity to visit this beautiful city, with its pottery workshops, famous for the monochromatic blue motifs and the Ducal Palace - considered one of the first Loire castles - residence of the counts and dukes of Nevers.

Day 2: Nevers - La Charité sur Loire (45 km)
This first bike ride will take you to Cuffy, the starting point of the La Loire à Vélo bike route. You will then continue towards the monastic city of Charité-sur-Loire, where you will cross the oldest bridge over the Loire, dating back to 16th century and reaching the Romanesque church of Notre Dame.

Day 3: La Charité sur Loire - Sancerre or Chavignol (38 or 36 km)
The stage will begin within the National Natural Reserve of the Loire Valley, passing through vineyards and next to the bell tower of the church of Pouilly-sur-Loire. You will proceed through fields and woods towards the famous vineyards of Sancerre. Take advantage of a stop at one of the local producers in the area and taste a glass of Sancerre Blanc, perhaps accompanied by the typical goat cheese Chevignol. From Sancerre, dominated by the remains of the feudal castle, the tower of Tour des Fiefs, you can enjoy a splendid view of the valley.

Day 4: Sancerre or Chavignol – Briare (50 km)
You leave Sancerre cycling along the Canal Latéral in the direction of Bannay and Cosne-sur-Loire, a city rich in flowers that offers beautiful views of the Loire. Continue on the cycle paths of La Loire à Vélo to Belleville-sur-Loire, Beaulieu-sur-Loire and Briare, whose bridge-canal, the largest in France, is a true work of engineering art.

Day 5: Briare - Sully sur Loire (40 km)
Cross the Loire by cycling on the bridge-canal and continue towards Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire, with its medieval fortress. You will then reach the beautiful town of Gien, which offers an exceptional panoramic view. Continue finally towards Sully-sur-Loire and its imposing medieval castle, surrounded by moats overlooking the Loire.

Day 6: Sully sur Loire – Orleans (50 km)
More wonderful panaromas will accompany you today to Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire and its Benedictine abbey, founded in 640, the abbey church of which is one of the most notable Romanesque works in France. You will then proceed to Châteauneuf-sur-Loire, one of the main ports on the Loire during the 18th century, before reaching Orleans, City of Art and History, freed by Joan of Arc in 1429 from the English siege.

🙋 Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
