Very nice trail. Thanks to @Mongoose 44 for the documentation.
Some menhirs are really massive and worth seeing. Others are less impressive. And there are two that I simply didn't find, probably buried under vegetation. Too bad.
Small regret: I should have reversed the direction of the trail at the last

Nantes - Oudon - Champtoceaux
Sortie matinale menée sur un très bon rythme. Fraicheur agréable au départ mais le thermomètre est vite monté en flèche.

Nantes - Blain
Boucle entre Nantes et Blain en suivant le canal jusqu'à Nort puis Vélodyssée jusqu'à la Chapelle. Quelques passages plus "VTT" mais la trace est globalement très roulante.

Outing as a duo in stroll mode, hence the very low km average. Perfect weather but a bit too hot in the afternoon.
Really enjoyed the meal at the Terrier lock.

Nantes - Pornic
Vous reprendrez bien un petit coup de Pornic ?
Je continue de profiter de l'océan avant l'arrivée imminente de hordes de touristes (dont je ferai partie) :-)
Gros choc thermique entre Pornic (20 degrés) et Nantes et même entre Pornic et Chauvé en fait.
En parlant de température, vu les…

The route is great but not everything went as planned.
Unfortunately, my train on the way there was 45 minutes late, so I had to shorten my route by about 20 kilometers. And above all, the weather was NOT at all the same as in Nantes or as predicted the day before. Besides the cold and wind, I had fog

Harder than the way there. Longer, steeper and very, too much, intense heat.
My tip of the day: in high heat, forget aesthetics and cover yourself completely (arms, hands, ears, neck...) + cap + SPF 50 sunscreen for uncovered parts (the nose in particular).

Nantes - Torfou
Boucle pour aller découvrir Torfou et explorer le circuit de randonnée des Roches.
Pas mal de bitume (avec peu de voitures) mais aussi de belles sections de chemins blancs et des singles très VTT.
Petit conseil : mouillez vous bien la nuque entre la Vendée à Vélo et l'Ile de…

NB: at km 39 the footbridge I usually use is reported as broken and under repair. It's true that it was in very bad condition last time. This implies a long detour via a rather unfriendly departmental road.
