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.

Loire riverside, from Nantes to Thouaré

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's starting to fall into disrepair a bit, but don't miss Martin the Troubleshooter.
For the rest, the towpath looks more like an open-air landfill than anything else.

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.

June 6, 2023,ÉTAPE 2 - Nantes à Oudon

The exit from Nantes is very pleasant, we reach the Loire from below Nantes, via the old LU factory, and we follow it slowly. The landscapes pass by, slowly punctuated by small villages, boats and cabins. A shady journey (finally), which makes it very pleasant!
But pleasure is a capricious thing: near Oudon, the pedal board of my Brompton broke! …

Today's destination was Nantes, which is located in eastern Brittany on the Loire and can look back on a long tradition as a port and industrial center. The medieval castle of Nantes was once the seat of the Dukes of Brittany.
