Cycle Route: Tours to Amboise

Ready for a Loire Valley adventure? This 29 km pedal from Tours to Amboise is a fantastic day ride, perfect for anyone wanting riverside scenery, a taste of history, and genuine French charm.

Starting in Tours—a city famed for its medieval old town and lively food scene—you’ll quickly find yourself rolling through quiet roads, scenic cycleways, and leafy paths. The route is mostly flat with gentle climbs (just about 120 meters of ascent overall), so you can focus on enjoying the journey rather than grinding through hills.

You’ll cruise alongside the Loire River for sections, passing vineyards and sleepy villages, as you make your way to Amboise. Almost two-thirds of the route is on smooth paved or asphalt surfaces, and traffic is minimal—most of your ride will be peaceful and safe, with hardly any busy roads.

Arriving in Amboise is a real treat: its elegant château was once the residence of French kings, and Leonardo da Vinci spent his final years here. Park your bike, grab an ice cream by the river, and soak up the views—a classic Loire Valley experience!
