we head north along the Loire to get to Lyon and finish our 3000km tour of the south of France (see Collection). Beautiful landscape, because the Loire torments itself here through a narrow rocky valley. The main road has a shoulder, but unfortunately the hard shoulder for bikes is interrupted again and again at narrow rocky sections and disappears completely. Not pleasant when there is a lot of traffic here.

This sublime road lets you sneak along the Loire. If the road is laid out, however, be careful because the cars driving on it can drive fast.
