By bike, on the famous Loire à Vélo itinerary
La Loire à Vélo is 900 km of safe, signposted itineraries that combine active leisure, lush nature, châteaux visits and wine tasting. Tours is one of the highlights of this cycle route.
Focus on 2 half-day options departing from Tours with a tour guide (choice of one-way or round-trip):
- Tours – Rochecorbon (10 km): a bucolic stroll along the banks of the Loire with views of the famous troglodytes, a visit to the ancient Marmoutier Abbey where Saint Martin founded a small hermitage in the 4th century and a festive break at the guinguette in Rochecorbon, a village with the “Petite Cité de Caractère” label.
- Tours – Villandry (21 km): the banks of the Vieux Cher, the Grand Moulin at Ballan-Miré, traditional boats in the village of Savonnières, the château and gardens of Villandry – these are the highlights of this section!
By boat
Aboard traditional boats, Loire bargemen offer daytime and twilight cruises, aperitifs on the river or guided biodiversity tours– take your pick! An original way to discover the Loire Valley, and a unique experience for your participants.
Canoeing
Go where no traditional boat can! An unforgettable descent accompanied by guides for a guaranteed bonding experience. Depending on your itinerary, you’ll see the Château de Villandry, Langeais and its suspension bridge, the fortress of Chinon, Montsoreau or Candes-Saint-Martin.
