The Loire by bike

Located on the “La Loire à Vélo” cycle route, the Château du Clos Lucé is a must-see stop for cycle tourists seeking culture, nature and relaxation.

After cycling several kilometres through the Loire Valley landscapes, treat yourself to a revitalising break in the Clos Lucé park – a green oasis in the heart of Amboise, crossed by the Amasse river.

In the shade of century-old trees, discover life-size models of Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions and his drawings reproduced on giant canvases suspended from the trees. Listen to the artist share his thoughts as you follow the six-stage audio tour. Your discoveries continue in the intimacy of his home, where he spent the final years of his life.

Before heading back to the Loire cycle paths, treat yourself to a refreshing, gourmet break in one of our restaurants.
