Nice cycling to Nantes. First a little here, then a little there and then along the Loire to Nantes, very relaxed!

First highlight of the tour, la Pont in St. Nazaire. A true monster of a bridge. Immediately afterwards the sea serpent, la serpant d'ocean.
And then along the Loire back to Nantes.
The weather was mixed today, but the locals made up for that with their nice, courteous manner!

Saint-Nazaire Bridge can be crossed by bike - but is on narrow protection strips with not a little car traffic. (In the season it is better to use the free ferry - Navette gratuite.)

A small drawback for the arrival in Saint-Nazaire, you have to cross the Saint-Nazaire bridge, which is frankly not pleasant to cycle through. But I couldn't find an alternative 🤷
