Loire à vélo day 1: Saumur



The Loire valley has great bike trails all the way from Atlantic to Nevers. A few weeks ago we took a day trip to Saumur, about 60km away from Angers. I liked it so much we went on another bike trip. This time we camped and almost made it all the way to Amboise. About 15km from our final destination I got a flat tire and we had to call it a day.

Here are some photos of the route from Angers to Saumur from both trips. There was a lot to see: slate mines, vineyards, lavender fields and plenty of cute farm animals.

We stumbled across a free campsite and settled in next to a sweet Dutch couple. 
That night we sat around the fire and talked to a French guy who wandered up to our camp. The four of us squeezed into our little tent pretty early and tried to get some well needed sleep.
