Nice view over Cour-sur-Loire, located on the opposite bank, along the Loire. Small wooden sailboats sometimes settle in this place, along a poorly developed and untamed shore.

Today I have very little to say...

Today the route is about 78 km long
From Orléans to Blois a route that gave me several surprises and finally good weather, a pity I wasn't able to visit the castle of chambord from inside. Now another …

Very nice tour, mostly slightly downhill, the detour to the castle is worth the detour. It's wonderful, it's 9 p.m., the sun is shining on my face, the white wine tastes great.

Day 22 of my cycling trip from Berlin to Nantes – from Orléans to Blois

After a very relaxing day in Orléans, I continue west today. Around 70 kilometers lie ahead, and Chambord 🏰, one of the major highlights of my tour, awaits me. I set off around 10 a.m. and first follow the Loire, cross the river, and then …

The landscape has changed its face again ... no pastures with grazing cows, but now …

Unfortunately it started to rain heavily in Chamboard 🌧️so we unfortunately couldn't see all of the castle. We had to use the rain break to get to our destination relatively dry. But despite everything …
