The hidden treasures of France's La Charité-Sur-Loire by bike

This Collection takes you from France's art and history-rich city of La Charité-sur-Loire to many monuments and beautiful nature spots. After visiting the city's 900-year-old bell tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you follow the small roads of the Eurovelo 6 cycle path.

The Eurovelo 6 is a perfectly signposted and safe European cycle route that connects the Black Sea to the Atlantic Ocean and passes through La Charité-sur-Loire. You explore the beautiful slopes of the region of Nièvre to the east and the Cher region, which is a little flatter, but just as beautiful, to the west.

You follow small country roads through these two regions, visiting many castles and wine estates en route. You visit the cathedral in the famous city of Bourges, wander the streets of Nevers, the historic capital of Nivernais, and take a glass in the renowned wine city of Sancerre, named "France's favourite village in 2021".

All of the Tours in this collection start from La Charité-Sur-Loire, which you can reach by train along with your bike. The station has two secure bicycle parking areas too.
