More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll out from Amboise as the Loire nudges the town awake, e-bike humming under you and the spire of Amboise crossing your view. The route threads small roads and vineyard lanes, the air smelling of cut grass and fermenting grapes; the river dares you to slow down and look. Clos Lucé arrives like a page from a Renaissance sketchbook — Leonardo’s last residence, tools and machines that once lived only on paper.
