Two castles, countryside, and quirky tales—cycle the Loire with an expert guide in a small group of 8.
- Starting point: Departs from Amboise or Tours Tourist Office (check your booking confirmation for exact location). Round-trip van transfer included.
- Day out: Half-day experience by electric bike, with a local English-speaking guide and plenty of time to explore two very different châteaux.
- You’ll get: Guided e-bike rides through Chambord forest in a small group of 8, entry and guided tours at Chambord and Villesavin, plus a charming picnic snack under the trees.
- Château de Chambord: Glide through the royal hunting grounds and tour this Renaissance giant with its da Vinci-style staircases and rooftop skyline. A UNESCO-listed gem.
- Château de Villesavin: Smaller, lived-in, and full of character— this privately-owned château offers an intimate look at noble life, complete with antique stables and quirky stories.
- Local flavor: Stop under a centuries-old linden tree at Villesavin for a rustic snack—fresh and regional, the French way.'
- Upgrades: Depending on where you're staying, pickup is available from either Tours or Amboise—two popular stay bases for exploring the Loire Valley. While Tours is a large city with a wide choice of bars and museums, Amboise is a quieter yet touristy town with 3 nearby castles.
