Superb view of the Château de Chenonceau

It goes on gravel, but if you are careful it can be done for a few meters on the way to see the castle from its best point of view!

August 28, 2022,🌟 Schöne Radtour von Chisseaux nach Amboise an der Loire

I can really recommend this bike tour. For the first few kilometers it leads somewhat bumpy along the idyllic little river Le Cher. But we were rewarded with a beautiful view of the Chateau Chenonceau. We continued on good bike paths over a hill to Amboise on the Loire.

June 26, 2022,Chateau de Pintray - Schloss Chenonceau

First along the Loire and then uphill and down to Chenonceau Castle on the Cher. The way back was actually great. Almost only bike paths. Unfortunately, the rain of the past few days has turned the forest path into an adventure slope with giant puddles, muddy paths and fallen trees lying across the path. And at point B, the smartphone/komoot …

A day without a castle is a day wasted. That is why we follow trail 74 towards Chenonceau Castle. It is hard to believe that originally there was a fortified mill here, which gave way to a Renaissance residence, and the most famous resident was Catherine de Medici. The designated trail no. 74 runs south through agricultural land and vineyards …

There's a castle lurking around every corner, and tourists love to visit them all 😉.
I gave the castle tours of the hotspots a wide berth (who wants to wait for hours in the sun to get in?). Instead, I visit the small Château du Clos Lucé in Amboise, where Leonardo da Vinci spent the last years of his life. …
