TOUR DE FRANCE 2025 - STAGE 9 - Chinon › Châteauroux
Having the route pass through Touraine not only offered beautiful scenery and a chance for spectators to see the race up close but it also gave a boost to local tourism. With the historic charm of Chinon and the vibrant town of Châteauroux as bookends, it was a stage rich in cultural and visual appeal. The vineyards, castles, and rolling countryside made for fantastic visuals on the televised broadcast and great publicity for the region.
Whether you were roadside cheering or watching from home, it was a win for the sport and for Touraine.

Monday's chateau...Chateau de Valencay,
Step Back in Time at the Château de Valençay: France’s Underrated Royal Gem.
If you’re exploring the châteaux of the Loire Valley and think you’ve seen it all—Chambord, Chenonceau, Amboise, think again. Tucked just to the south, in the quiet, pastoral Indre region, is a place that’s as grand, fascinating, and history-soaked as any of its more famous neighbors: the Château de Valençay.
This stunning estate isn't just another pretty castle—it's where diplomacy, elegance, and a dash of political intrigue come together under one slate-blue roof. Trust us: it’s worth the detour.
