Are you planning to cycle along the banks of the Loire? You are right, it is one of the most beautiful cycling routes in France! And for good reason: hedgerows, hillsides, hills… nature is there and the panoramas are simply exceptional! And let’s not talk about its heritage and its sumptuous castles! So to help you organize your trip, here are some links that might be useful.

The website dedicated to the itinerary you are looking for, in this case, the Loire à Vélo, as for the other official websites of the great French cycling routes, allows you to visualize the detailed itinerary and to have all the necessary information for your cycling trip. The site also allows you to have many testimonies that you can identify with. Another site about the Loire Valley by bike, ““My Loire Valley”, can also be useful.

The France Vélo Tourisme website lists all the accommodation (gîte, guest house, hotel, campsite) with the “accueil vélo” label so that you can find the ideal accommodation at each stage of your journey. You will also find the number of kilometers to be done per stage and the main points of interest of each of them.

Of course, you can also get a copy of the “Guide du Routard“, a must!

The websites of the tourist offices or regional websites along the Loire by bike itinerary can also be useful to prepare your trip, or to go directly to the agencies along your journey:

• Nantes
• Angers  
• Tours
• Touraine
• Anjou Tourism 
• Loire and walks
• Saumur Tourist Office
