Cher Valley Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A good way to leave the city of Tours by bike is to take this green lane which follows the Cher. The coating is excellent. The route begins at L'île Balzac in the city center and takes the direction of Montrichard along the river to the east.

Nitray Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Nitray dam is a needle dam established on the Cher.

Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now.

It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.

July 10, 2024,Voie verte du Val de Cher – Château de Chenonceau Runde von Saint-Pierre-des-Corps

A really great bike tour, always along the Cher and almost exclusively on a top-notch bike path. I don't understand at all why this tour isn't recommended by the campsite. At the end we stopped at a small bar and fortified ourselves with a small cheese platter and a freshly tapped beer. Because everything was so beautiful, we went back …
