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.

August 18, 2025,Von Beaugency nach Saint Benôit sur Loire

The three of us continued on to Orléans. There, we had a second breakfast 🙃 and a little sightseeing. Unfortunately, our paths then parted. Tine and Mathias stayed in Orléans for a day before continuing on to Paris. My route then continued along the Loire Cycle Route. I found another beautiful campsite. From my tent, I have a direct view …

A beautiful tour, starting with gray clouds, but today the sun won out. A lot of it was overland and along the Loire. The highlight today was the Cathedral of Sainte-Croix d'Orléans, the religious center of the Diocese of Orléans. It is built in the post-Gothic style and dedicated to the Holy Cross.
Very impressive, including the atmosphere inside...
Overall, …

After a small snack in the market square we …
