Fine, sunny and cool in St Nazaire, where we caught the bus to St Bevin Les Pins - the word is that the ride across the St Nazaire bridge is not worth the risk.
After fooling around in St Bevin,Читать далее

The Jardin Des Plantes is a lovely oasis in the middle of Nantes. Green, shady, birds, water everywhere - good for the soul.
Arabian Nights Jardin des Plantes apparently très bon!!! I have looked up weather for Nantes - fine, but it is not exactly hot there ATM!! Non?
Pat and Tracey Esler Il fait beau, Pam. Yesterday top temperature was 26° and sunny. Parfait! Jardin Des Plantes was lovely. Would have liked to stay longer than our 45 minute stroll.

We crossed the Loire and rode into Oudon at about 4pm feeling like calling it a day. We could see there was a camp ground but decided to try the Office du Tourisme for other options. But first weЧитать далее
Kevin Esler Google Earth has a lot of detail on Oudon. Looks like a very nice little village.

Ingrandes in the background. Beautiful spot. The French maintain the character of their towns and villages - no nasty advertising billboards or garishly painted houses.

Kevin Esler If I remember rightly, the local drop in Angers is rose wine. Years ago I biked this and upcoming part of the Loire. Have fun.

Pat and Tracey Esler Nothing wrong with glamping
