Bike rides
Explore the sprawling nature reserve by riding on its many cycle paths
Chambord is one of the favourite destinations for bicycle lovers. Its Renaissance castle, the forest and its historic village make it a romantic setting for cycling.
Routes suitable for all levels
At the Relais de Chambord, we provide our guests with all-terrain bicycles and e-bikes for rent, to spend a day exploring the surrounding nature. The domain is marked with 20 km of safe routes without technical difficulties, which makes this activity suitable for all levels. In addition, this activity is perfect for cycling with the family, since the roads are mainly composed of green lanes, being, therefore, free of traffic.
Unique wildlife
Wonder around the Château de Chambord before returning to the forest and its unique wildlife. Among the greenery, an outstanding diversity of flora and fauna have made their home here. If you are lucky you may see several species from non-native (for example, the Corsican mouflon, introduced in 1950) to a wealth of regional forest animals (such as stags, wild boars, roe deers, the bird population or even salamanders).
European cycle routes
Moreover, the cycle routes “Les Châteaux à Vélo” and “La Loire à Vélo” cross the area and lead to other castles or to the banks of the Loire. Relais de Chambord has the Accueil Vélo – La Loire à Vélo label. For further information, please contact our Reception.
