Excursión ciclista de un día de Amboise a Tours

Get ready for a lovely ride from the picturesque town of Amboise to the vibrant city of Tours! This 32.5 km route rolls gently along the Loire, making it a great choice for a relaxed day in the saddle. Most of your journey glides along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads—which keeps things peaceful and scenic.

You'll start in Amboise, known for its stunning chateau and Leonardo da Vinci’s last residence, Clos Lucé. The ride itself is pretty mellow, with only about 130 meters of ascent, and you'll pass through charming Loire Valley countryside dotted with vineyards and classic French villages.

Arriving in Tours, you’ll find a lively old town full of historic architecture, student energy, and plenty of spots to grab a coffee or a pastry. Tours is often called the gateway to the Loire Valley and is famous for its medieval neighborhoods and grand Place Plumereau.

The route is almost entirely paved and should be smooth riding, though be mindful that about a third of the surface type is "missing" in data—so a small section may surprise you. Pack a picnic and enjoy a classic slice of French cycling!
