April 27, 2023,tappa 10 : Da Saumur a ponts-le-cé

Day 10
Route: saumur- les ponts-de-cé
about 50km
Today another great journey I really liked a lot, between small villages, small castles and a journey along the Loire.
Too bad for the last 10 km I got a good wash.

Today was road day on the EV6, almost the entire route was on back roads with little traffic. First of all, very beautifully directly on the Loire …

This section leads through the Loire Valley, you should not imagine 50 romantic kilometers on a wide cycle path right next to the river. Often you have to share the road with cars, especially along the river. Sometimes there are several variants, and if you don't check them carefully beforehand, you can run into traffic or unwanted hills. But there …
