The cycle path on the dam is sometimes a bit "tough". The views of the Loire radiate tranquility.

While this bridge allows you to cross the Aron River with a beautiful view of the river, when you look up you cannot ignore the statue of Notre-Dame du Nivernais which dominates from its abutment in the center of the city.

The EV6 keeps touching the Loire between Bourbon-Lancy and Nevers. The view of the river is always nice.
