Beau Rivage Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

Very nice to drive single trail between Oudon and Les Thibaudières. The EV6 actually leads from Oudon to the other side of the Loire, but this route is the nicer one. Also easy to ride with bicycles with luggage.

June 6, 2023,ÉTAPE 2 - Nantes à Oudon

The exit from Nantes is very pleasant, we reach the Loire from below Nantes, via the old LU factory, and we follow it slowly. The landscapes pass by, slowly punctuated by small villages, boats and cabins. A shady journey (finally), which makes it very pleasant!

Departure from Thouaré/Loire. Banks of the Loire to get your legs moving. Gravel-type route, not very interesting for mountain biking.

A mountain bike ride from Thouaré to La Varenne to get my legs moving. Pure mountain biking isn't the point.

Day 25 – Arrival in Nantes

I have to admit: I was exhausted today. Yesterday's 212 km had left their mark, and unfortunately, I couldn't sleep long. So I started off a bit tired – but then, there were only about 40 kilometers ahead of me.

Today's destination was Nantes, which is located in eastern Brittany on the Loire and can look back on a long tradition as a port and industrial center. The medieval castle of Nantes was once the seat of the Dukes of Brittany.
