Beautiful rest area with tables and benches on the banks of the Loire

It is pleasant to sit here, take a break and look at the Loire.

There is a campsite right next door, but it is fenced in and hardly noticeable.

Viewpoint over the Loire where small wooden boats are frequently installed. Without artificial development, this edge of the Loire cannot accommodate large boats and has retained a natural and wild side.

October 5, 2025,Frankrig: Cykeltur - Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire - cykelvej langs Loire

The man on an electric bike and me on a "sofa bike" - a nice ride on the cycle path along the Loire to the nearby small town of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire.
Nice weather - sun, clouds, a little wind.
