Hiking in the Loire Valley

This is a relatively easy walking trip that suits you with normal fitness. The walks go on well-marked trails, gravel roads and smaller country roads, often along the Loire River or through gently rolling wine landscapes. The elevation differences are moderate but the stages are quite substantial with 17-22 km per day. You choose the pace yourself and the trip is well suited for you who want to combine moderate physical activity with culture, wine and authentically French environments.

During the trip you stay at personal and carefully selected hotels with good locations along the route. In Amboise you stay at Hotel Bellevue by the Loire River, with views towards the royal castle. In Montlouis-sur-Loire, Hôtel Le Montloire awaits, a modern hotel with a central location in the wine village. In Tours you stay at Hotel Mirabeau, close to both the station and the city's historic center, and in Villandry you overnight at the charming Hotel Le Cheval Rouge, right next to the castle and its gardens. All hotels have private bathrooms and breakfast is included every morning. NOTE other, equivalent hotels may occur.
