Experiences

Claire and Pat on the Loire à Vélo route from Ancenis to Saint-Brevin-les-Pins

“A native of Liré, the River Loire was an integral part of my childhood! My parents lived in a flood zone, so I have plenty of memories of the river and its high tides, which meant getting around by boat in all weathers! When I return to my native region of Anjou, I always visit the banks of the Loire, in the company of my partner. We’re both fans of sport. La Loire à Vélo was therefore an opportunity to combine my two passions in life!”

Julio on the Loire à Vélo cycle trail from Nantes to Saumur

“A cycling adventure, of a kind, along the River Loire, from Nantes to Saumur on the Loire à Vélo cycle trail. A trip through the Loire Valley to visit magnificent castles, including the Château des Ducs de Bretagne in Nantes, the Château d’Angers and the Château de Saumur.”
