This station-to-station route takes you from Tours to the Château de Chenonceau. Ride along the Cher River, enjoy the picturesque scenery, and in just a few pedal strokes, you'll be standing in front of the majestic "Château des Dames."

Allow enough time to explore this unique monument spanning the Cher River, stroll through the garden paths, and canoe under the monument's arches. An unusual experience not to be missed. A children's tour is available on site.

The route follows a magnificent greenway along the Cher River and includes a section of the Cœur de France à Vélo cycle route. You'll cycle through a peaceful, natural environment dotted with small villages that exude a holiday atmosphere. Stop in the town center of La Croix-en-Turenne for a short break in the market square.

The entire route passes through protected natural areas, guaranteeing a beautiful day spent in the countryside. It is a very accessible walk and we recommend that you start it early in the day to have time to fully enjoy the castle and the family activities it offers.

Cher Valley Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A good way to leave the city of Tours by bike is to take this green lane which follows the Cher. The coating is excellent. The route begins at L'île Balzac in the city center and takes the direction of Montrichard along the river to the east.
