Véretz

Highlight • Settlement

Véretz and its 5,000 inhabitants constitute a small, quiet town on the banks of the Cher. A few shops enliven its town center. The “Château de Véretz”, rebuilt in the 19th century, dominates the Cher valley at the entrance to the village.

Val de Cher Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

Departing from Balzac Island, a good option for leaving the city on a paved route and on a clean road.
The route continues to Montrichard on a greenway/clean lane/small road.

Whitewater kayak route

Highlight • Other

Unfortunately, it will probably never be operational again. To do this, two completely dismantled weirs on both sides of the island in the Cher would have to be rebuilt and the Cher must also carry sufficient water.

Cher Valley Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A good way to leave the city of Tours by bike is to take this green lane which follows the Cher. The coating is excellent. The route begins at L'île Balzac in the city center and takes the direction of Montrichard along the river to the east.
