The Loire Valley between Tours and Angers was the heartland of the great Kings and Queens both of France and of England whose history and families were entwined. Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Joan of Arc feature repeatedly in the tapestry of history that makes up the region. The castles here are more rugged and better fortified than the elegant château residences to be found further east, and many saw their fair share of fighting. The area is not limited to military themes for interest however. Medieval religious orders took advantage of the rich, fertile countryside and the availability of limestone for building to set up monasteries and abbeys throughout Touraine and Anjou. The river Loire is lined on both banks with the vineyards of many fine wine domaines: sparkling Saumur, reds from Bourgueil and Chinon, Rosés from Anjou. The local cuisine makes use of the local cheeses and fish, and ‘Geline’ poultry for which Tours the area is famed, and of course the wealth of fruit and
vegetables which grow here. Our routes take in all of the major châteaux; we also visit other attractions including the Gardens at Villandry, the Royal Abbey at Fontevraud and ‘trogolodyte’ houses carved out of the soft ‘tufa’ rock along the banks of the Loire. The cycling is gentle, following rivers and quiet tree lined roads and forest tracks.
