From Montsoreau, this 76.1 km loop rolls out past the Loire and on to Château Vieux, then follows a run of castles through the countryside. After Manoir de la Baronnière and Château de Coulaine, the route reaches the Le Négron river and crosses the Parc naturel régional Loire-Anjou-Touraine. A final stretch along the Thouet brings you back to Montsoreau, with 463 m of climbing spread across the day.
