June 20, 2026,Loire-Radweg / 2. Etappe: Chatillon sur Loire -> Orléans 🇫🇷🌤️🌊🦆🌬️🚴🏼‍♀️💦

For the 2nd stage, I had planned to take a step back, take more breaks, and drink diligently. That worked out quite well, even though the increasingly warm broth was very much an acquired taste. The solution was two "Einkehrschwünge" (stops for refreshments) with Panaché 😛.

The Briare Canal Bridge, the Chateau de Sully-sur-Loire.

Cornfields, too...

Finally, a few magnificent meanders, and we arrive in Orléans via Ile Charlemagne.

And Orléans Cathedral, of course!

Without knowing it, we are still enjoying the relative freshness, but the heat wave is already on the way.

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.
