June 4, 2026,Fahrradtour von Nantes nach Paimboeuf

Today we traveled from Strasbourg to Nantes by TGV and started our bike trip towards the Atlantic from there. It was partly very strenuous due to the strong headwind, and the last stretch towards Paimboeuf was a bit monotonous, but it is a beautiful area for cycling here. We mainly cycled on the Eurovelo 6.
