Another little cycled route La Vallée du Loir à Vélo (V47).

185 miles along Le Loir valley between Angers and Illiers-Combray. Note it's Le Loir not "La Loire". At the Angers end it starts around where Le Loir meets La Loire and then ENE. Connects with La Velo Francette at the westerly end.

Varied cycling, some farm tracks, some quiet rural lanes. Some wine growing regions (good quality reasonable priced wine); wine growing museum at Lhomme along the way. Small typically French towns and villages. Interesting self-operated chain ferry across the river Plenty of easy camping along the route.

Interesting maybe more obscure long distance route.

There are some lovely pictures here (thank you) of routes that would be wonderful to ride. If only they were a lot closer to me. :cry:
