Discover Chinon in a whole new way by renting a Chinon bike and conquering the banks of the Vienne and Loire rivers. This medieval gem lends itself perfectly to exploration on two wheels, with its cobbled streets, peaceful riverbanks and renowned vineyards. Get on an electric bike for an easy climb up the hillsides, or choose a mountain bike for a ride along the country lanes.

The emblematic Loire à Vélo route winds its way just a few minutes from the town center, opening the gates to Chinon castle, perched on its rocky spur. You'll ride through shady forests, along hillsides planted with Cabernet vines and stop off at a troglodyte carved into the cliff. Further afield, the Véloroute Touraine à Vélo takes you to Bourgueil and Saumur, two ideal stops for a rosé or a visit to another château.
