Chinon

🍷Cabernet Franc is the local specialty
🚴Arrive by bike for the best approach views

Pedal into Chinon and watch the royal fortress rise above terracotta rooftops along the Vienne. This medieval town of half-timbered houses and tufa stone is where Joan of Arc once rode to meet the king, and where you'll want to park your bike for a glass of local Cabernet Franc.
