Highlight (Segment) • Other

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.

September 26, 2024,10 An der Loire nach Nevers
Today's tour is quickly told:
It was so boring!


Nevers itself is a pretty town. I took a day off there, sleeping in, walking around and eating a delicious meal. That did me good physically and mentally.
