From the Middle Ages to the Renaissance

From the Middle Ages to the Renaissance

I From the Middle Ages to the Renaissance From Montrichard to Chenonceaux, glide from the Medieval Period to the Renaissance in just a bike ride. In Montrichard, visit the magnificent castle-keep from the 12th cen- tury, whose imposing presence overlooks the town. Then, follow the banks of the Cher to the Chateau of Chenonceau, a true jewel of the Renaissance period whose galleried Bike Route VAL DE LOIRE > TOURAINE | LOIR-ET-CHER > VALLÉE DU CHER structure spans the river like a bridge. Built during the time of Catherine de Medicis and To and From Diane de Poitiers, the Chateau has been baptised “The Ladies’ Castle”. On your way back, take some time out for a swim at the Aquatic Centre or a boat-trip on the river.
