Cycling

Departing from Orléans train station, this route crosses the city center, crosses the Pont de l'Europe, and joins the Loire à Vélo cycle route. The route largely follows the Loire embankment, which runs along the banks of the river.

This ride is all about nature. You pass through the Saint-Mesmin nature reserve, where many birds have made their home. We also recommend a stop at Pointe de Courpain (bring wide tires as it is only accessible via a small dirt road), as well as a visit to the Roquelin garden, renowned for its flower beds, particularly its roses.

Once in Meung-sur-Loire, you can return to Orléans by train. But before that, treat yourself to a meal, a snack, or a refreshment at the Capitainerie. This bistro is located on the banks of the Loire, just after the bridge. A pure moment of relaxation with a superb unobstructed view of the banks.

Jardin de Roquelin

Highlight • Natural

If you love roses, you'll love the Jardin de Roquelin in Meung-sur-Loire. It's a remarkable site featuring over 500 varieties of old roses, as well as other plants and shrubs.
Stroll along the grassy paths and admire the colors and fragrances of the flowers. You can also observe the farm animals that roam freely in the garden, or buy a rose or homemade jam at the gift shop.
The Jardin de Roquelin is open from April to October, except Tuesdays. It is part of the Route de la Rose, a tour that allows you to discover other rose gardens and producers in the Loiret region.
