Bléré is a small town with 5,000 inhabitants. It is located on the banks of the Cher in a most bucolic setting and at the intersection of major routes for hiking and cycling. You can find all the amenities for a well-deserved stopover.

Chenonceau Castle

Highlight • Castle

Whether or not you visit the Chateau de Chenonceau, I highly recommend taking a short walk around the area to the opposite bank of the Cher and the castle grounds, where you can see (and photograph) this iconic French castle under a unique and amazing angle that you cannot discover from the castle walls.

Bonus recommendation - if you really want to experience the castle in a unique and exciting way - hire a boat, kayak or canoe down the river and paddle through the iconic arches and under the castle.

View of Chenonceau Castle from the cycle path

Highlight • Castle

Chenonceau Castle has the unique feature of being built partly on a bridge spanning the Cher River. It was Catherine de Medici who, wishing to have sumptuous parties, was at the origin of this idea. The first floor of the "bridge" was entirely given over to numerous dances. Chenonceau is one of the most visited castles of the Loire castles and is also nicknamed the home of the ladies. It thus belonged successively to Diane de Poitiers then to Catherine de Médicis (respectively the lover and the legitimate wife of Henri III King of France) but also to Louise Marie Madeleine Guillaume de Fontaine, by her marriage Madame Dupin, who was born in Paris on October 28, 1706 and died in her Château de Chenonceau on November 20, 1799. A woman of spirit, famous for her beauty, Louise Dupin was also a personality of the Age of Enlightenment and held brilliant literary salons. She notably received Voltaire, the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, Fontenelle, Marivaux, Montesquieu, Buffon, Marmontel, Mably, Condillac, Grimm, Bernis and Rousseau. In the park of Chenonceau, on this side of the river, is the impressive tomb of this lady. This tomb is inspired by antiquity and is supported at the corners by large lion paws. You can enter the tomb for free.
