After flying into Tours, we picked up the bikes and packed all our gear into the paneers. The guy renting the bikes recommended a good restaurant for lunch before we set off.

The first day's cycling was fairly short, a good way to start the trip. The thing that hit me first was simply how quiet it all was. The cycle tracks were wide and well sealed. Perhaps they were used by tractors or farmers at other times of the year - but the whole trip we barely saw anyone using them but us. It was really beautiful.

We found the main attraction in Villandry to be closed, so we just checked in a the hotel, and found a quaint wee shop for wine and cheese, followed by dinner at the hotel.
