The Loire Valley is best by bike: from Amboise along the river, from Blois on the Loire à Vélo, through the forest at Chambord and down the Cher to Chenonceau, and from Villandry to Azay-le-Rideau. On foot there are the royal town of Amboise, the troglodyte villages of Vouvray and Saumur's vineyards.

On the Atlantic side you can climb the Dune du Pilat, ride round Arcachon Bay and the Île de Ré, walk La Rochelle's old port and Biarritz's cliffs, and go inland to Saint-Émilion, Sauternes, Sarlat, Rocamadour and the prehistoric caves of the Vézère valley.
