Le voyage vers la source de la Loire continue avec Angers (si si, elle est tout en bas de la photo !) L’embouchure de la Loire à Saint Nazaire ! Avec ses 1006 km, c’est le plus long fleuve de France. Autre record, le pont de Saint Nazaire, clairement visible en travers de l’embouchure, est le plus long de France. Toujours sur la Loire mais en amont de Saint Nazaire : Nantes, Angers, Tours, Orléans et Roanne, dans l'ordre du voyage vers la source :)

Traveling up the Loire river to its source brings us to Angers (right at the bottom of the photo). It angers me to think of all the bad puns dads must make when visiting this city. A tip for cyclists: follow the Loire river, from Saint Nazaire to Roanne (or better yet the other way round as it will be downhill). As it is the longest river in France, it would take a few days, but it only takes one minute for us to fly over it. Here are some of the cities you will pass along the Loire.
