Stop or destination, Sucé / Erdre, the "pearl of Erdre", is to be discovered, between river, canal and forest; you will often come across many bikes there, on the road and paths, and also often cyclists on the terraces of cafes and restaurants 😉. Also look for Snow White's house...

Gravel outing to check the condition of certain paths after the sunny days of recent times, and to take advantage of more rolling conditions.
