Long greenway between Châteaubriant and Bain de Bretagne. Very smooth rolling.

Very beautiful place. I was able to cycle around the lake but I'm pretty sure many of the paths are impassable in winter.

The west bridge of Lake Voireau offers a beautiful, unobstructed view of the reservoir. The largest body of water in Loire-Atlantique, this lake stretches through the heart of the forest. Its wooded banks and landscaped beaches make it a pleasant stopover for a nature break or a swim.
