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.

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.

Quiet and shaded cycle path, located in the heart of nature. On one side the lateral canal to the Loire and on the other side, woods and meadows.

The Loire Cycle Route begins here at the confluence of the Allier and Loire rivers. It takes you almost 800 km to the river's mouth at the sea.

This stone bridge, whose construction began in 1767, spans the Loire River south of Nevers. Whatever the season, it's always a pleasure to admire the river from this bridge. Although …

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..😀😀

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 …

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 …

At Bec d'Allier we left the Canal de latéral de la Loire and turned onto the …

Today we joined the Loire Cycle Route. It's fairly easy to see that tourism is a major source of income here: the houses are in better condition (for example, we no longer saw any dilapidated, partially covered buildings), the gardens are more well-kept, and there are restaurants in every village, occasionally even outside of it.
However, you shouldn't rely too …

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 …
