リリー＝シュル＝ロワールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A magnificent castle, with stunning gardens and a superb view of the Loire and its valley. Works of art are also displayed in the castle grounds, in addition to the gardens.

The little port is very pleasant. I recommend a visit to the castle for its magnificent garden.

The second garden, known as "Goualoup", has hosted the International Garden Festival since 1992. As the seasons change, this annual event (from April to October) has become an unmissable meeting point for new, contemporary garden designers: landscape architects, set designers or gardeners. Each year has its theme, which the artists bring to life with originality and imagination. The park and the International Garden Festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire were awarded the "Jardins Remarquables" (Remarkable Gardens) and the "Arbres Remarquables" (Remarkable Trees) label in 2011, thanks to the exceptional cedars that adorn the Domaine's park.

Even though boats nowadays have outboard motors, they are beautiful to look at.

...and don't make the same mistake we made... shortly after the washhouse the path forks... we took the left one, which was barely a field path at the end, and then went back across the middle of the (harvested) field. Take the path on the right and stay on the paved path.

Church of Rilly sur Loire, built in 1855

Sublime castle, with magnificent gardens and a superb view of the Loire and its valley. Works of art are also present in the castle park, in addition to the gardens.

I walked the route with my dogs, so I only walked around the castle and the castle gardens and did not go inside. The promenade along the Loire is very beautiful, natural and picturesque. I had hoped to get a view of the landscape from above, but that was not really possible at any point on this path. Still a nice walk.
