Cobblestone ramp

Highlight • Other

The short section, the ramp up to the dam, is definitely from the last century.
But from there, you have a beautiful view of the sandy banks of the Loire.
Simply indescribable!

Sometimes a bit monotonous, but the bike path is well paved, so you can also enjoy the scenery.
I saw figures in the trees along the path.

May 27, 2025,Tour de France 2025 par le Jura. Jour 19 - de Decize(58) à Bourbon-Lancy (71)
After Decize, we take a stretch of the Nivernais Canal to Champvert. And countryside... That's it, we're in Saône-et-Loire!
From Cronat, we're still on the EV6 to Digoin.
Very beautiful, varied landscapes this morning.
Crop fields. We're not getting any wheat, barley, corn, rapeseed out of here.
The valleys are there, slopes 6, 7, and 10 percent. Large farms here …

Today:

> lots of warmth, heat, hot...

> steep climbs (hot and sweaty), and with a pack.

> Reward: sweeping views of the countryside.

> Hardly any canal/Loire paths today.

> Rather, across the countryside, up and down, pure landscape and hedgerows.
