Entre vignes et vergers, de la Loire au Loiret
Depuis les bords de Loire, plongez dans le Val d’Ardoux vers Mareau, Mézières et Cléry (comme disent les gens du coin) ; traversez les vergers couverts de cerisiers et de pommiers, rejoignez les vignes et faites une pause chez les viticulteurs de l’AOC Orléans Orléans-Cléry.
Quand les Mauves rencontrent la petite Beauce
Les Mauves ne sont jamais très loin : parfois on les devine, parfois elle apparaissent. Elles ont façonné le paysage et contribué à l'installation de nombreux moulins. On découvre ensuite le paysage de la petite Beauce où se sont installés, un, deux, trois châteaux et la surprenante tour Chappe.
La balade des 3 clochers
Plus qu'une balade à vélo, ce circuit vous invite à pousser la porte de nos plus beaux édifices civils et religieux.
