You will cross over the Loire several times during your journey. At different points, there are ferries allowing you to change sides as well as passenger boats that you can board with your bike and enjoy drifting along the river for a short break… Just one more unusual way of discovering the Loire and combining boating with cycling during your outing. Best not to miss the ferry across the Loire!
