Tours

Tours sits on the Loire River in France's château country, with pancake-flat running along the riverbanks and through the city's tree-lined parks—the local trail community gravitates toward the gentle Loire Valley towpaths. Cyclists dominate here: the Gravel 100 G.A. starting from nearby Azay-le-Rideau showcases the region's gravel routes through Renaissance estates and vineyards, while Grav3X and the Ronde de Rotomagos out of Pont-de-Ruan keep the competitive scene sharp on mixed terrain within 30km of the city centre.
