St. Gondon and the Flower Bicycles

Highlight • Settlement

There were bicycles with flowers all over the town.
I didn't photograph all of them, nor did I ride through all the streets - there were certainly more.

Today was much quieter. The thousands of cyclists from the previous day were missing. They had to ride in a different direction today.

The route was interesting and easy to find, but there were a few climbs along the way.

It was a lot of fun.

The village of Saint Gondon with its priory, ruins of the old castle and its riverside park is definitely worth a visit. Arrival in Sully sur Loire: superb castle and park. And at the finish, one of the …

May 24, 2025,🏰 🏰 der Loire: Sully und Gien

Parking at the Château de Sully-sur-Loire.

Coffee break at Boulangerie Le Fournil de Gien.

To connect these two châteaux in one bike ride, there's unfortunately no better route than cycling back and forth along the Loire Cycle Route.
