Highlight • River

the landscape is constantly changing - nothing uniform - beautiful landscapes.
We thought the Loire was the highlight - no - it gets even better, driving through Brittany here. Simply indescribable.

A very nice, mostly shady section with many rest areas. Finding a place to sleep is not that easy. We had to cancel the tour because of heavy thunderstorms and fled to a campsite.
