Quai de la Loire

Highlight • River

In this section, the cycle path signage leads largely through the areas behind and along the Route d'Orléans. Just courage. You can stay along the Loire, but this is a single trail. Still very nice.

View of Cour-sur-Loire

Highlight • Other

Nice view over Cour-sur-Loire, located on the opposite bank, along the Loire. Small wooden sailboats sometimes settle in this place, along a poorly developed and untamed shore.

April 23, 2022,Orleans nach Blois

Today we took it a bit easier. Today's destination was Blois. Ten queens and seven kings apparently resided in the castle there.

But before we arrived in Blois, we first went to Meung-sur-Loire, where we visited the Saint-Liphard church. Unfortunately, the castle was only open in the afternoon. Then came the church Eglise Notre-Dame in Beaugency, which was built in …

Well, it had to happen at some point, today it happened: on my early farewell lap through the old town of Orléans I broke something and before I even got to the Loire I had my first flat tire. Unfortunately, the coat was also slashed. What is the probability that there is a bike shop nearby at this moment that …

The route from Orleans >> Blois was a typical North German bike tour.

> First of all, old country: lots and lots of fruit plantations and vegetable gardens

> West wind from the front all day, around force 5

> Long stretches of pure nature.

Just like at home!

Only the castles 🏰 in between and the baguette were different.

Cheerful, lively stage on the right and left of the Loire. A discovery for me, above all, was the beautiful town of Beaugency with a lively market and a beautiful church from the 11th century.
