Departure from Chenonceaux (Indre-et-Loire)
Ah, Chenonceaux! Without a doubt my favourite château. Exploring the surrounding area is a real pleasure, with vineyards, peaceful villages and the banks of the Cher. Very peaceful, even if there are a few hills, but it's for a good cause: views that are well worth seeing and seeing again. Hybrid or mountain bikes are recommended. Lunch breaks are available in Chenonceaux, Bléré or Saint-Georges-du-Cher.

Departure from Saint-Quentin-sur-Indrois (Indre-et-Loire)
Starting from Saint-Quentin-sur-Indrois, you can choose between two different loops. The first, towards Chédigny, will take you through the rolling countryside to discover the 1,000 rose bushes in this village, which has been awarded the Jardin Remarquable label. The other loop will allow you to discover the Indrois, its meanders, its mills and hidden monuments. But as the choice is difficult, you can also choose to do both loops since they are connected to form a single one!

Here is the first part of a kayak/canoe trip between Reignac-sur-Indre and Veigné, in Indre-et-Loire. Paddling on the Indre is quite different from paddling on the Loire. It is a calmer river, its flora and fauna are more diverse and the space is more confined... Along this route, we’ll come across magnificent mansions, mills and small private estates.
