Imagine cycling in the heart of Loiret, an authentic region where nature and history combine beautifully. Here, the waterways and lush forests guide you to charming villages, where the past is revealed at every turn. Between the rivers and canals, Loiret is a haven for nature lovers and cycling enthusiasts.

In this Collection, we offer a sneak peak at a new, gorgeous, watery loop of Loiret. The route follows many iconic waterways: the Loire, the Canal d'Orléans and the Canal de Briare. You’ll be able to enjoy a route that combines three renowned cycle paths: the Loire à Vélo, the Scandibérique and the new greenway of the Canal d'Orléans which connects Orléans to Montargis over its 78 kilometres (48 mi).

Accessing the route by train is easy, with stations in Orléans, Montargis and Briare. It’s up to you where to start the loop and it can be cycled in either direction. You’ll find services aplenty along the way, from repair stations and supply points to bike-friendly accommodation.

Loiret is beautiful throughout the year, whether during the spring awakening, under the generous summer sun, in autumn’s golden woodland, or in the serene hush of winter.

All that’s left to do is plan your next cycling adventure in Loiret.
