GR®35 Hiking from La Loupe (Eure-et-Loir) to Rochefort-sur-Loire (Maine-et-Loire)

The GR®35, between Perche and Anjou along the Loir Valley, winds its way between verdant hills and Percheron manor houses before entering the Loir-et-Cher department, where history is etched on the façades of castles and charming towns like Montoire-sur-le-Loir. The landscape then transforms into Maine-et-Loire, revealing vine-covered hillsides and troglodytic dwellings carved into the white tufa stone. Nature here is punctuated by the meanders of the river, where grey herons and kingfishers thrive.
