Treat yourself to a lovely 20-kilometre jaunt (40km return) between two rich towns with exceptional heritage. Without difficulty, the greenway criss-crosses a very beautiful area to discover via a dedicated app, and along 5 themed stations (gastronomy, viticulture, heritage, natural area, François Rabelais) and 3 refurbished former railway stations. Along the way, the green star at the restaurant Les Jardiniers will encourage you to take a break. Unless you’re too impatient to discover the Château du Rivau a little further on, with its fairytale gardens, two restaurants, a collection of contemporary works, and even a hotel! Featuring a remarkable ornithological observatory, l’étang d’Assay is the next stop, followed by la maison de l’abeille at Champigny-sur-Veude. One last pedal stroke: you’re in Richelieu, the town of the Cardinal!
