It's a great passage that runs along the Loire, sheltered by trees and quiet.

The bike path has good asphalt, without any potholes! The floodplain is between the Loire and the dam.
We experienced the Loire as a calm, unobtrusive river.
But apparently, it can also be quite different.

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.
