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.

September 14, 2025,Tag 22 ⛅️ meiner Radreise von Berlin nach Nantes: Orléans nach 🏰 und Blois 🇫🇷
Day 22 of my cycling trip from Berlin to Nantes – from Orléans to Blois

After a very relaxing day in Orléans, I continue west today. Around 70 kilometers lie ahead, and Chambord 🏰, one of the major highlights of my tour, awaits me. I set off around 10 a.m. and first follow the Loire, cross the river, and then …

Very nice tour, mostly slightly downhill, the detour to the castle is worth the detour. It's wonderful, it's 9 p.m., the sun is shining on my face, the white wine tastes great.

The 16th stage from Orléans to Blois, covering approximately 80 kilometers, was more varied today than the previous sections.

Unfortunately it started to rain heavily in Chamboard 🌧️so we unfortunately couldn't see all of the castle. We had to use the rain break to get to our destination relatively dry. But despite everything …

Leaving Orleans behind us, we left early. Nice temperature and the sun was shining. On to one of the larger castles in France, Chateau Chambord. Today after we left the city, lots of gravel, approx. 35 km. We had to deviate approx. 6 km from the route to the castle. But it was worth it. It is impressive, very large, …
