This walk starts at Blois and finishes at Tours, both on the Loire, and takes in a section of the Cher along the way.

It is easy walking and full of historical interest. The area is full of châteaux, notably Blois, Chenonceaux and Amboise, and the countryside is gently undulating, with large plantings of wine grapes as well as other crops.

The food is delicious and there are plenty of villages providing refreshment for the passing walker.
