Détours de Loire
Détours de Loire hires and sells bicycles along La Loire à Vélo, the cycle route that follows the river. It has agencies in Blois, Tours, Orléans and Nantes, and its network lets you collect the bike in one city and leave it in another.
How it works
Book online on its website or call the agency. From 6 April to 30 September all four agencies are open; from 1 October 2026 to 4 April 2027 only Tours and Blois open, Tuesday to Saturday. The Blois agency is a few steps from Blois-Chambord station, on the avenue that goes down to the centre.
What it hires and what it costs
Leisure, trekking, electric, gravel, mountain and children's bikes. In 2026, a leisure bike costs €15 for half a day and €18 for the day; an electric one, €30 and €40. All come with a pump, repair kit and lock, and the helmet is free if you book it. They have a child seat (€4 a day), child trailer and panniers.
If you finish at another agency, you pay for the return: from Blois to Tours, for example, €25 per bike.
