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. A little way along the bank there are a few typical Loire boats.

There were bicycles with flowers all over the town. I didn't photograph all of them, nor did I ride through all the streets - there were certainly more.
