One of the best ways to experience the stunning scenery and sites of the Loire is by bike — e-bike of course, the luxury way to visit on two wheels! That way you can take it easy, relax, get close to nature and soak up the fresh air. Chateaux are a big part of your Loire Valley adventure and there are several that are absolute must-sees. The lovely medieval town is dominated by its ridge top fort and was a favourite castle of King Henry II who died here.

And you can take a boat ride here on the Vienne River, a great way to see the countryside and the profile of the hilltop castle.
