Tips from the Community
Decent rest area, 2 picnic tables and a view of the nuclear power plant. On the way to Nevers, just before the rest area, there is a reception house, which may be nicer than the rest area.

Ideal for beginners or for your first walks or trips. Very safe route with no elevation changes. Note: if you have a good level, it is very monotonous and repetitive - I do not recommend it.

South of Nemours, there are about 15km of unpaved track. After these 15km, it is paved and of good quality until Briare I think (we stopped at Chatillon-Coligny).
