Review of DETOURS DE LOIRE - BIKE RENTAL

It is a busy place this Saturday morning. It is 9:...

It is a busy place this Saturday morning. It is 9:35, there are 4 people ahead of me renting bicycles and 12 behind me when it is my turn. Staff is very friendly, fixing simple bike pbs for free for another customer. My bicycle is ready in 2 minutes. To respond to a previous post, I asked and reservations can only be done a week in advance (or more). According to the clerc, there was about 70 bicycles for rent today, they were all gone when I returned mine at about 5:30pm (I don't know when they ran out).
Going along the Loire river is very nice. The bike path ends about 6 miles east of Tours on the way to Amboise, and picks up again closer to Amboise. Overall, an excellent day and experience!
