This %E0 loop, which can be completed in a day, begins at the castle and gardens of Villandry, one of the Loire Valley’s most iconic sites.
In Lignières-de-Touraine, the Romanesque frescoes in the Church of Saint-Martin, a designated historic monument, are well worth the detour.

During your ride, you’ll enjoy
beautiful panoramic views of the Loire and Cher rivers.
