View of the Loire from Pont de Champtoceaux

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Champtoceaux bridge crosses the Loire at Oudon. The view over the Loire is superb because the river is here punctuated by numerous sandbanks.

The Loire at Oudon

Highlight • River

I always ride south Loire in the morning because the bike path is not shaded. City of Oudon very nice. I often do this circuit always with a picnic break at the port of oudon.

Oudon Keep

Highlight • Castle

A pretty site that is worth the detour for the dungeon and its surroundings (canal, sculptures)

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.

Not very hot, but at least beautiful sunshine.
The Loire, which borders the path, really impresses.
In many places it was more the Loire à Naage than the Loire à Vélo. And yet, I passed at low tide!

Quiet walk enjoying a lull. It's not easy to cycle at the moment. And even when it doesn't rain the ground remains extremely wet and slippery.

The work between Mauves and Oudon is almost finished. Normally Friday. They put some kind of cement everywhere, covered with sand. Of course it will be smoother and less often flooded (a priori), but …

A north-easterly wind was still very icy on the outward journey, but a magnificent blue sky and a sun that warmed the heart after these three weeks of cold and gray weather.

Little wind. Crushing heat at the end of the route.

Sunshine and blue skies this morning (finally!), but a strong, freezing east wind.

No problems, magnificent weather. I took advantage of the favorable wind on the way back to improve (a little) my best time on this very classic loop of the Nantes region.

Last outing of the year, with oh miracle, sun on the last third of the route.
I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy New Year's Eve and an excellent year 2025, if possible with a little less rain and mud for us other cyclists and hikers from the Atlantic-Loire region.

A quiet little outing, under a beautiful sun (finally!)
A lot of puddles and dead leaves, but I expected worse after yesterday.
