Cycling the Loire Valley

75 minutes DVD/NTSC

Only $29.95

Wine, food, history: the Loire Valley is a cyclists’ delight. Known as the “Valley of Kings”, it was a preferred home of French kings between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. Their legacy is the largest concentration of castles, or chateaus, in Europe. For two-wheeled travelers, the Loire Valley is interlaced with a network of moderately-traveled regional roads that meander along the Loire and its tributaries, the Cher, Indre and Vienne Rivers. Also covering the gentle hillsides are vineyards that produce some of the finest white wines in France. This video program traces a five day, 154 mile tour from Saumur to Blois.
