April 28, 2022,Tours nach Montsoreau

The 70 km from Tours to Montsoreau were entertaining. We drove along the Cher River (EV6). The river flows into the Loire at Cinq-Mars-La-Pille. On our tour there was a detour to the castle in Villandry and in Usse.

Our destination today was Montsoreau with its Renaissance-style castle, which lies directly on the banks of the Loire. The building was …

Still consistently 32 degrees. With our heavy-duty transporters, this is sometimes really exhausting. Today we went from Avoine to Tours. There were 2 visits to castles. Rigny-Ussé and Villandry. The locks are highly recommended. Rigny-Ussé impresses with a dignified, unobtrusive design both inside and outside. On the way to Villandry we stopped in Langaeis for a lunch break. A really …

80 kilometers and a lot of wind. That's the summary of today's tour. If we had a tailwind, we would be close to the Atlantic. We have actually arrived in Saumur. This is an important center for mushroom processing in France. They grow in the tuff caves. But people also live there. We drove through one of these cave villages. …

That's what cycling should be like. Nice weather, a few shady clouds, temperatures not above 27 degrees and, above all, a tailwind! A few scoops of ice cream, a slice of bread in between. And of course, a light beer is also welcome. Et voilà, ce sont ça les vacances.

September 19, 2023,Tag 22: von Tours nach Saumur

The navigation system was able to take a break and the tour followed the well-signposted Eurovelo 6 or the “Loire à Vélo” all day today. At the beginning the route also ran along the river, mostly on the dike (occasionally measuring sticks indicate that there must have been dramatic floods here). You have a good view from the dike, but …
