August 15, 2022,Van Montreuil-Bellay naar Saumur

The roads are very diverse on the way back many country roads between the corn fields. The way there is varied, through forest, along grapevines, etc. Also a lot of height difference. Quiet trails.

The last stretch, past vineyards and castles, once again over the Loire...
