Au Revoir Loire a Velo

From beginning to end we have now completed the Loire a Velo bike route. The beginning point (our end point) is in a tiny town at the confluence of the Loire and the Allier. There is a commemorative brass plaque set in a concrete drawing of the Loire.

Today’s final leg took us along unexpectedly smooth dedicated bike paths through classic farmland and along a canal.

We are overnighting in a gypsy caravan whose interior is as up-to-date as any RV.

Dinner, provided by our hostess, included a 2009 Pinot Noir from Bourgogne, a region we had unwittingly missed.
