May 4, 2022,EV 6 Nevers - Bourbon - Lancy

At the beginning of the day again along the canals, then the landscape becomes flatter, wider. Huge fields with irrigation systems.
And finally a few steps up to Bourbon Lancy.

Also today I had to mend another tube. This time it was the turn of the puncture-proof rear tire.
In the long run, cycling on the paths along the canals gets boring.

Finally a few climbs, I love it and then a happy descent. Tonight we stay in a monastery. I'm curious if I'll sleep better there than usual. 😇

June 10, 2024,Loire24 Tag 5 - von Bourbon-Lancy nach Nevers

Beautiful route, first over land and through a small Réserve Naturelle, then along the Canal du Nivernais and the Canal Latéral à la Loire. The west wind is annoying, but should ease from the day after tomorrow. There are already a few bicycle tourists on the way, from FR DE CH etc. and also Canada.

August 19, 2021,🇫🇷TDF_Süd_09: Bourbon-Lancy - Nevers

This morning we were bid farewell to the campsite by a chatty colony of white herons. Shortly after the start, the first mountain classification on the "Col de la Unknown" 😉 followed, followed by a constant up and down on narrow side streets far away from the Loire. The effort was rewarded with beautiful distant views of an idyllic landscape. …

Today we drove on the EV6 from Bourbon-Lancy to Nevers. This is where the official Loire cycle path begins.

The route first took us to Champvert on country roads with little traffic and from there along the Canal du Nivernals and Canal Lateral a la Loire to Nevers.

The paths were great again and the weather was wonderful.

The route begins at the canal in Nevers. Later, the tour continues on back roads through the hilly terrain in Burgundy.
Burgundy is a lovely, agricultural landscape. White cows stand on huge pastures, which are separated by strips of trees, mostly oaks.
