Cycle path along the Loire

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Superb section of the “La Loire à Vélo” cycle path, far from motorized traffic and surrounded by nature, between the wild Loire and the fields that border it. Perfectly marked and sufficiently wide track, surface in excellent condition.

In the heart of the Loire Valley nature reserve, this part of the "Loire à Vélo" is very quiet, without a car, the roadway is wide enough and the surface is of high quality.

June 9, 2024,Der Loireradweg - 1. Etappe - Nevers --> Saint-Satur
We started at the cathedral in Nevers and rode over the large Loire bridge. As you can see, this is not the source of the Loire. It rises about 350 km further south in the Massif Central. The starting point of the Loire cycle path is at the confluence with the Allier in Cuffy.

August 19, 2025,2025 Loire 2. Tag vom Camping Nevers zum Camping la Porte de Sancerre
Rain is forecast for today. But it's only a drizzle. We put on our rain gear, then sweat, then take off our rain gear, then get wet (or damp), and so it goes on all day. Cruising along the canals is interesting. We pass locks again and again, but there are no holiday boaters around anymore. The Pont-Canal de Guétin …

Good cycling weather. No rain. Last 3 km steep climb from 140 mtr to 280. And that is really a lot for my girl at the EC bike😀😉. And the big battle with the bags starts again, what is where and no, another bag at the bottom..😀😀

... ça roulais aujourd'hui très très bien .... Life alone is not enough, it also needs freedom, sunshine and .... a bicycle 😊, in a free variation of Hans Christian Andersen's saying!
Great cycling weather today and the desire to be on the move.
At Bec d'Allier we left the Canal de latéral de la Loire and turned onto the …

The official cycle path of the Loire starts about 12 km after Nevers. This leads along the EV6 to Nantes.

The route was entertaining and beautiful. We made a detour to La Charite-sur-Loire. There is the Clunyazensische priory church Notre-Dame de La Charité, which was built between 1059 and 1107. The church is a milestone in the architectural development of …

We leave Nevers - it was nice! It's foggy and cold this morning. Only later, after almost 2 hours, does the sun 🌞 break through.

But after the first 10 km comes a highlight of this stage: The Pont Canal du Guétin, i.e. the Loire side canal, is led here at Guétin in a long trough bridge over the river …
