Description

Day 1: Nevers
Individual arrival in Nevers. Take advantage of the opportunity to explore this beautiful city, with its ceramic workshops, famed for their blue monochromatic designs, and the Ducal Palace, considered one of the first castles on the Loire, residence of the counts and dukes of Nevers.

Day 2: Nevers – La Charité sur Loire (45 km; +179m)
This first bike stretch will take you to Cuffy, the starting point of the La Loire à Vélo bike path. You then proceed towards the monastic city of Charité-sur-Loire, where you will cross the oldest bridge over the Loire, dating back to the 16th century, reaching the Romanesque church of Notre Dame.

Day 3: La Charité sur Loire – Sancerre or Chavignol (38km; +202m or 36 km +332m)
The stage will start within the National Natural Reserve of the Loire Valley, then pass through vineyards and by the bell tower of the church of Pouilly-sur-Loire. You continue through fields and woods towards the famous vineyards of Sancerre. Take the opportunity to stop at one of the local producers and taste a glass of Sancerre Blanc, perhaps paired with 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; +148m or +236m)
Leaving Sancerre, you cycle along the Lateral Canal towards Bannay and Cosne-sur-Loire, a flower-rich city offering splendid landscapes of the Loire. You continue on the La Loire à Vélo bike paths to Belleville-sur-Loire, Beaulieu-sur-Loire, and Briare, whose canal bridge, the largest in France, is a true masterpiece of engineering.

Day 5: Briare – Sully sur Loire (40 km; +173m)
You cross the Loire pedaling on the canal bridge and proceed towards Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire, with its medieval fortress. Then you reach the beautiful town of Gien, which offers an exceptional panoramic view. Finally, you continue towards Sully-sur-Loire and its imposing medieval castle, surrounded by moats overlooking the Loire.

Day 6: Sully sur Loire – Orléans (50 km; +131m)
Today, too, wonderful panoramas will accompany you to Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire and its Benedictine abbey, founded in 640, whose abbey church is one of the most remarkable Romanesque works in France. You then continue towards Châteauneuf-sur-Loire, one of the main ports on the Loire during the 18th century, before reaching Orléans, City of Art and History, liberated by Joan of Arc in 1429 from the English siege.

Day 7: Orléans
After breakfast, end of services. Individual departure during the day.
