Suspension bridge over the Loire

Highlight • Bridge

On a tour on such a long and wide river, like the Loire, you will always drive over spectacular bridges. Many of the bridges are very old and bear witness …

Very nice to drive single trail between Oudon and Les Thibaudières. The EV6 actually leads from Oudon to the other side of the Loire, but this route is the nicer one. Also easy to ride with bicycles with luggage.

March 20, 2025,Nantes - Ingrandes

A long outing to Ingrandes, the "small town of character" in the Ancenis region, on the border of Loire-Atlantique and Maine-et-Loire. The temperature was mild, but the weather was a bit disappointing, with overcast sunshine on the return journey and, above all, a strong crosswind, which was quite annoying and unpleasant.

March 3, 2023,Nantes - Ingrandes

First big outing of the year, to Ingrandes. Fog early in the morning, then Sun and beautiful blue sky. Cold wind.
On the way back, take a detour to the surprising Château de la Bourgonnière. Nice discovery!

September 19, 2024,Nantes - Saint-Florent le Vieil

At first I wanted to go to La Bernerie to see the ocean, but I finally told myself that at low tide with a coefficient of 115 the ocean would need binoculars to see it.
So, back on the Loire à Vélo, under a beautiful blue sky, with a very pleasant temperature and the cherry on the cake, (relatively) little …

Magnificent day (23 degrees!) with a lot of bikes on the Loire à Vélo.

April 16, 2023,Nantes - Saint-Florent le Vieil

I finish on a classic Loire à Vélo before a three-week break. RAS on the course. A little wet between Mauves and Oudon but nothing bothersome. Perfect weather with great sun and little wind.

Note that I tried the path that goes down under the column in St Florent, but I gave up because it was not suitable for cycling …

Classic for today with Nantes-Saint Florent le Vieil by both banks.
Lots of fog early in the morning, beautiful blue skies afterwards.

The pictures don't really show it, but I had good weather for a good half of the trail. However, quite a bit of wind.

May 17, 2022,Nantes - St Florent le Vieil

Classic outing Nantes - St Florent le Vieil by both banks. Always a pleasure, especially with this blue sky.
On the other hand, great heat (I expected it) and strong headwind on 75% of the course (I did not expect it).
