The Loire Valley Tour

Today we start our "Castles of the Loire Tour" ( Loire Valley Tour ) in the birthplace of Jules Verne in Nantes. In 1828 the writer saw the light of day here.
In 80 days he went around the world; we will remain many worlds away from that with our bikes. Hoping for favorable westerly winds, we work our way east; towards the source. In Sully-sur-Loire, but no later than in Gien, we plan to say goodbye to the Loire Valley.

The sections ahead of us from Nantes via Angers, Saumur, Chinon, Tours and Blois to Orléans are a small part of the Eurovelo 6 from the Atlantic to Constanta in Romania on the Black Sea and are additionally from Tours to Orléans a fraction of the Eurovelo 3 pilgrimage route from Trondheim in Norway to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
