    Tips

    The ferry provided for pedestrians and cyclists, on the Loire à vélo route, is ideal for crossing the Authion and joining beautiful car-free paths allowing safe access to Trélazé and Angers. The ferry requires a little attention to avoid putting your foot in the water when loading and unloading a loaded bike, but nothing impossible. Progression is made using a chain.
    Fun and practical multimodal transport!

      A chain ferry crossing is a little adventure. It's a bit exciting and fun at the same time!

        Here you do not have to wait for a ferryman - you just pull yourself on the river on the chain.

          The Authion ferry: very practical for traveling independently from one bank to the other in 3 minutes.
          Downside: the bin chain got stuck while we were trying to pull the bin on our side to cross.
          Stroke of luck: 2 people arrived on the other bank and were therefore able to remove the knot in the chain, cross the river as they wanted and therefore bring us the ferry...

            To cross L'Authion with the strength of your arms 🙂

                The ferry is on the Authion and not on the Loire😉

                      In the autumn and winter months there is no ferry.

                        Note, the ferry is only usable during the summer months until end of September.
