Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Orlean do Blois

Get ready for a lovely ride along the Loire! This route takes you from the historic city of Orléans—famous for Joan of Arc and its gorgeous Gothic cathedral—southwest to the charming riverside town of Blois, known for its magnificent château perched above the river.

Covering about 67 km, most of your journey rolls along peaceful, quiet roads with stretches of track and dedicated cycleway, so expect a mostly relaxed ride. You’ll cruise through classic Loire Valley scenery: sweeping river views, vineyards, and small villages where you can stop for a quick pastry or coffee.

The ride isn’t too hilly—just enough ascent and descent to keep it interesting without being a slog. Surfaces are mostly paved or asphalt, but keep an eye out for some gravel and unpaved bits, so a hybrid or gravel bike will treat you well.

It’s a classic French countryside experience with just enough adventure to keep things fun. Once you reach Blois, be sure to check out its royal castle and the lovely old town streets. Enjoy the journey!
