The Loire cycle route

"This guide describes a cycle route through France from the Loire source in the volcanic Massif Central to the river mouth opposite St. Nazaire on the Atlantic coast. Below Nevers the route coincides with Eurovélo route 6 and the Loire à Vélo, France's most popular cycle route. The French know the Loire as the 'Royal' river, and the route passes the great royal châteaux of Blois, Chambord and Amboise, as well as historic cities such as Orléands and Tours."--Back cover.
