September 13, 2024,Loire - Day 6

Not the nicest cycle for first half. Montlouis-Sur-Loire bit was all messed up. Would avoid my route and follow Loire a Velo

September 26, 2024,Tours to Amboise

Not many photos - it rained for the entire ride. I did stop off for a pretty good matcha flavoured Opera pastry at Montlouis-sur-Loire. An excellent ride if not for the rain. Waterproof, wide-brimmed hat found in the Hunting section at Decathlon did a brilliant job keeping the rain off my glasses!

July 23, 2023,Schlösser der Loire 8. Etappe: Amboise - Tours🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🌦

Today we started our way back to Tours from Amboise. The weather wasn't quite as stable. Shortly before Montlouis-sur-Loire it started raining, so we first looked at the beautiful church of St. Laurentius and then took a coffee break☕️.
In Tours the cathedral was on the way to the hotel. We took the opportunity to visit here.
