The Loire by bike

The loire by bike routes

The Loire à Vélo is a touristic bicycle circuit that the passionate or amateur cyclists know necessarily! This touristic bicycle trip on the banks of the Loire River hangs from its source in Cuffy near Nevers to Saint Brévin on the Atlantic coast.

In Anjou, the Loire à Vélo offers a multitude of landscapes and discoveries. Enter the white tufa stone cellars of Saumur where you will discover a rich underground activity: from the cooking of fouaces to the troglodyte dwellings to the wine cellars of the Anjou wines. Some wineries offer the visit of their cellars only by bike.

Cross the islands and the small villages of character. Put your bike down and discover the richness of the Loire’s heritage and its magical and historical places. Combine train and bike thanks to the Train Vélo Loire: InterLoire provides free shuttles between June and September to reach the next stage of your tour.
