A royal course
From Angers to Blois, you will go back in time to the Renaissance, while your little queen will lead you on the path of the famous castles of the Loire, jewels of the French architectural heritage. Discover the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci at the castle of Amboise or the rooms of Catherine de Medici and Diane de Poitiers at the castle of Chenonceau.
Immerse yourself in the work of Hergé at the Château de Cheverny, the inspiration for the famous Château Moulinsart in his Adventures of Tintin series. Finish your tour in Blois, whose castle was the favorite residence of the kings of France during the Renaissance. An ideal trip for history and architecture buffs who want to explore large estates and beautiful millennial roads by bike!
