Everything is just right here - cycling on an asphalted cycle path directly along the Loire - simply fantastic.

Port of Ancenis

Highlight • Structure

Formerly very active, the port of Ancenis is nowadays mainly devoted to tourism and pleasure. You can sometimes see the Loire Princess cruise ship there.
Beautiful view of the Loire …

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.

Loire riverside, from Nantes to Thouaré

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's starting to fall into disrepair a bit, but don't miss Martin the Troubleshooter.
For the rest, the towpath looks more like an open-air landfill than anything else.

Mauves Seaside - Guinguette on the banks of the Loire

Highlight • Other

Fishing, sand games, relaxing under a parasol... The former strike of Mauves-sur-Loire regains the air of a seaside resort!

Mauves-sur-Loire Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge has been widened and made secure for cyclists, two cycle lanes on either side, on their own site!

Well done !
