Chemillé-sur-Indrois walks
From the shores of the lake to the Chartreuse from Chemillé-sur-Indrois
In Chemillé-sur-Indrois, the vast lake cannot be seen at a glance. You will need to walk along it, then move away, explore the forest to discover a charterhouse, before finally returning and climbing up to get a better view. A route that will delight lovers of nature and heritage.
The Loches National Forest from Sennevières
Discover the small village of Sennevières, nestled in a valley at the edge of the Loches National Forest. A short walk through the Touraine countryside will take you to the former royal forest with its wide forest paths. You can stroll under the canopy of trees, in the shade of hundred-year-old oaks...
In the national forest via the Étang de Ferrière from Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu
After a quick tour of the village of Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu, with its old priory, you will set off on an excursion that takes place almost exclusively in the forest. And what a forest! The Loches National Forest, a former royal forest and favourite playground of the kings of France when they stayed in Loches. Sometimes on the wide avenues ofthe 19th century, sometimes on small paths, you will discover hidden sites in the middle of the woods, notably the Étang de Ferrière.
Roses and mills from Saint-Quentin-sur-Indrois
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!
The Path of the Spirit from Beaulieu-lès-Loches
From the monastic city of Beaulieu-lès-Loches, discover little-known paths that offer unique views of the bell towers of Beaulieu and the royal city of Loches. You will walk along paths carved into the rock, across the plateau through fields, and make a detour into the forest of Loches to see the Étangs de Ferrière.
Le Chêne Girault from Saint-Hippolyte
Leaving Saint-Hippolyte, you set off on a short loop through the countryside. After a short stretch beside the Indre, you'll wind your way through the fields to discover a number of hamlets, as well as the woods overlooking the village.
Heritage walk in Loches
In the 15th century, the fortress of Loche symbolised royal power. On the other side of the Indre, the imposing abbey of Beaulieu-lès-Loche reigned over the souls of the people. While the course of the Indre remains peaceful, time has preserved only the magnificent buildings from this era, which you can discover as you walk along the route suggested here.
The two villages circuit from Saint-Jean-St-Germain
Set off to explore the villages of Saint-Jean and Saint-Germain, separated by the Indre but united by an ordinance since 1834 to form Saint-Jean-Saint-Germain. You will discover a varied heritage, marked by the history of the area, but also by the river, and you will pass from the valley to agricultural areas dotted with hamlets and farms.
On the Indre hillside from Perrusson
From the village of Perrusson, you will set off on a circuit along the eastern side of the Indre valley. The green meadows along the river will give way to fields and woods, dotted with hamlets and villages where life is good. Keep your eyes peeled, as the narrow streets and valleys sometimes hide some lovely surprises...
In the Perrusson countryside
On this route, after a section exploring the heritage of the market town of Perrusson, you'll head off to explore the countryside. Woods, fields, open countryside, geological curiosities and finally wet meadows - this is a programme that should please walkers looking for a variety of atmospheres.
The Indre Valley from Chambourg-sur-Indre
Starting from the village of Chambourg-sur-Indre, you will set off on a walk through the Indre valley. On sandy paths, you will follow the river through meadows and poplar groves, then criss-cross the woods that stretch between the Indre and Indrois valleys. Under the trees, with your feet on the sand and your eyes on the water... discover the Chambourg countryside!
In the heart of the Gâtine region from Bridoré
Leaving Bridoré, with its lake and impressive castle, you set off on a walk across the plateau overlooking the Indre valley. In the middle of the fields, the wide open spaces offer beautiful views of a castle in the distance or simply the green Indre valley.
The rose bushes of the Indrois
In the Lochois region, Chédigny, the "Village of Roses", is the only village to be classified as a "Remarkable Garden". I invite you to discover it from Azay-sur-Indre, a small historic village located at the confluence of the Indre and Indrois rivers. The route passes through varied landscapes: woods, meadows and fields, floodplains, marshy areas and riverbanks.
On the lands of Diane de Poitiers
Discovery of the Cher valley near Chenonceaux. Magnificent view of the Château de Chenonceau from the left bank of the Cher.
Chenonceaux Castle circular - vineyards - banks of the Cher
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.
On the banks of the Cher and at Chenonceau Castle
The commune of Chenonceaux, famous for its world-renowned château, has many other treasures to offer. This easy hike invites you to discover them.
Please note: hikers have informed us that the Chenonceaux bridge over the Cher river is undergoing repairs until 15 June 2019. The walk as described will therefore not be possible during the first quarter of 2019. Please check before setting off.
