Langeais Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Langeais bridge is an Eiffel bridge... Like the tower of the same name and the same engineer! It is both very resistant and fragile in winter if it freezes at -10°C. It may be closed during periods of severe frost. This bridge crosses the Loire offering superb views of the river and its surroundings.

Excellent viewpoint over the wild Loire on the Loire à Vélo between Villandry and Bréhémont. You can see the Langeais bridge, an Eiffel bridge.

The Château de Villandry, whose construction began in the 16th century, is particularly known for its gardens, which cover more than six hectares spread over four levels. The castle is perfectly maintained and can be visited year-round, but it is for its gardens that Villandry is a must-see.

View of Ussé castle

Highlight • Castle

On the horizon, when the weather is clear, you can see the silhouette of the Château de Ussé. This fairytale castle has a magical appearance that overlooks the Indre and the Loire. It is so beautiful that it inspired Charles Perrault for his Sleeping Beauty.

Triggered? Drive there and you will end up in a fairytale world.

Young and old, immerse yourself in castle life and the scenes from this fairytale come to life before your eyes. Follow in the footsteps of Vauban, Perrault, Chateaubriand, Le Nôtre and the Blacas family, who still live in this illustrious castle in the Loire Valley.

Another beautiful section of the EuroVelo, directly through Villandry. Villandry Castle is a very special castle, beautifully rebuilt and restored. What's truly special, however, are the wonderful gardens, redesigned according to old plans from the Renaissance period. Strolling through these gardens is a truly special experience...
