  • Très bien !
    Nous avons passé trois jours superbes. On a eu un temps agréable, et les trois châteaux de la Loire à partir de Blois étaient accessibles en vélo avec une grosse partie en vraie piste cyclable. Hôtel bien placé, vélos pas haut de gamme mais bien entretenus.

  • Incroyable !
    Nous avons eu la chance de participer à un week-end romantique organisé par Loire Vélo, qui comprenait une visite de plusieurs châteaux autour de Blois. Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que c'était incroyable. L'organisation était impeccable. Loire Vélo s'est occupé de tout, de la réservation de l'hôtel à la location de vélos, en passant par les billets coupe-file pour les châteaux. Tout était facile et fluide, et nous n'avons eu aucun problème pour nous déplacer d'un endroit à l'autre. Enfin, je tiens à remercier Gabriel, pour son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse.
