Cycle Path on the Loire Bourguignonne Levee

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike path has good asphalt, without any potholes! The floodplain is between the Loire and the dam.
We experienced the Loire as a calm, unobtrusive river.
But apparently, it can also be quite different.

Cobblestone ramp

Highlight • Other

The short section, the ramp up to the dam, is definitely from the last century.
But from there, you have a beautiful view of the sandy banks of the Loire.
Simply indescribable!
