This castle, built in the 16th century, is today nothing more than a ruin following a major flooding of the Loire. Composed of stone and brick, the ruins are impressive by the height of the towers and remaining walls.

June 1, 2023,EuroVelo6 bis Orléans

Very nice tour, mostly on the dam. The destination of Orleans has a bit of dolce vita and I like it so much that we take a day off to discover all the nice corners.

Day 16: from Gien to Orleans - on the EV6

The day started well - it was no longer cold and at 9:30 it was already 16 degrees.
Croissant and baguette at the boulangerie around the corner and then a few meters further to the Le Balto bar for our coffee.

September 12, 2025,Tag 21 ⛅️ meiner Radreise von Berlin nach Nantes: Gien nach Orléans 🏇🇫🇷

Day 21 of my cycling trip from Berlin to Nantes – from Gien to Orléans

Today I was able to wake up in a real bed again – my small accommodation in Gien was considerably warmer and drier than the tent. After breakfast, I crossed the Loire to the other side of the river. From there, the cycle path led …

July 1, 2023,09 - Gien nach La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin

After my detour home by train. Handlebar mount defective because Flyer had installed a fork for an M Velo and so you could only attach my handlebars to 3mm instead of 3cm on the XL Velo. I was just lucky that this didn't happen while driving. Everything patched up and back on the tour by train. 8 days lost, but …

September 7, 2024,Retour de vacances

I wanted to go to Blois but late departure because of the weather, after a week of boat on the Nivernais and Latéral à la Loire canal 😊

I will still have Orléans - Blois to finish the Loire by bike.

August 24, 2025,Gien - Orleans

Everything went perfectly today. A beautiful route, partly on small country roads and villages, and partly on the Loire Dam. The weather was great, and we had a tailwind several times. We reached the campsite in Orleans-Olivet by 3:30 p.m.

June 13, 2022,La Loire à Vélo - 2/7 - De Chatillon-sur-Loire à Orléans

The Briare Canal Bridge, the Chateau de Sully-sur-Loire.

Cornfields, too...

Finally, a few magnificent meanders, and we arrive in Orléans via Ile Charlemagne.

And Orléans Cathedral, of course!

Without knowing it, we are still enjoying the relative freshness, but the heat wave is already on the way.

June 20, 2026,Loire-Radweg / 2. Etappe: Chatillon sur Loire -> Orléans 🇫🇷🌤️🌊🦆🌬️🚴🏼‍♀️💦

For the 2nd stage, I had planned to take a step back, take more breaks, and drink diligently. That worked out quite well, even though the increasingly warm broth was very much an acquired taste. The solution was two "Einkehrschwünge" (stops for refreshments) with Panaché 😛.
