Les Vélos de Paulette

The folk on site here are pretty much experts in the subject of touring the area by bike, so have a chat with them for advice on the best places to head for, whether you’re after easy family outings or more challenging adventures. There are some great walks around too, taking in historic mills, riverside views and attractions like the Grand-Pressigny archaeological site. If you’ve brought the family along, you may need to leave time for outings to a couple of well-known kid-friendly attractions too – namely the thrills of the Futuroscope theme park (45 minutes’ drive) and the animal encounters of ZooParc de Beauval (an hour). Keeping it closer to home, you may like to schedule low-key visits to local places like Museum René Descartes (five minutes) Château de la Guerche (10 minutes) and Château des Ormes (15 minutes), or check out the collection of old vehicles at Grand Atelier, Museum of Art and Industry (25 minutes).
