Gita in bici di un giorno da Saumur a Angers

This scenic cycling route starts in the charming Loire Valley town of Saumur, famous for its fairytale château and renowned sparkling wines. You’ll pedal your way north towards Angers, covering just under 60 km through mostly quiet roads—ideal for a relaxed ride without much traffic.

The route is blissfully flat, with less than 75 meters of ascent, so you can soak up the river views, vineyards, and sleepy villages without breaking too much of a sweat. Most of the way you’ll be on paved roads—though a small portion is unpaved, so it’s a good idea to use a hybrid or touring bike.

After about 3–4 hours, you’ll arrive in Angers, an energetic city with a striking medieval castle, vibrant culture, and plenty of cafés to celebrate your ride. This trip gives you a lovely slice of the Loire à Vélo, connecting two of the region’s most beautiful towns. Don’t forget your camera—or stop for some wine along the way!
