The Loire at Oudon

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 17, 2022,La Loire à Vélo - 6/7 - Des Ponts-de-Cé à Rezé

We hit the road again for a 'long' stage of 110km.

The heat wave is boring, our host agrees to postpone breakfast...

From now on, the Loire changes its appearance, it becomes navigable: signaling, yachting, and nautical clubs.

Delightful departure in Bouchemaine, we will then follow the SNCF line for a long time.
