Overview

Follow the majestic Loire winding to the Atlantic. Visit historic Angers and Nantes. Taste a red Saumur-Champigny or a white Savenieres on the way. Enjoy the wide views of wild river landscapes and experience the immense changes in nature as you approach the ocean! The total 'Loire a Velo' route runs from Nevers to 'l'Ocean', let's say from 'source' to mouth. The route can be divided into 3 various stages which can also be booked separately. You can add additional detours during this trip. This excellently marked third stage varies from flat, slightly sloping to an occasional small climb.
