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.

This beautiful trail begins on the banks of the Loire before winding through the trees. A superb, calm and bucolic section.

Candé-sur-Beuvron is a small, leafy village typical of Sologne. It's a must-see stop on the Loire Valley castle route. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find them along the rivers that flow through Candé, as well as in its forests and vineyards. The village's restaurants offer local cuisine that will delight even the most discerning palates.

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.

A beautiful place – as you can see in the picture of the bridge, the rains in 2024 also drove driftwood in front of the bridge. Flooding has always been a problem here – the entire bridge has been completely submerged several times!

This route is an experience, and cycling through a piece of beautiful nature is a must. I can only recommend this cycle path to everyone!

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