April 12, 2024,08 - Briare - Meung sur Loire

Beautiful forest stretches at the beginning, a lot on the dam, of course always with a view. The trip through Orleans went better than expected. Before that, a very nice drive through a landscape park (riparian forest). During the course of the day, pure sunshine and very warm.
