The bike path has good asphalt, without any potholes! The floodplain is between the Loire and the dam.
We experienced the Loire as a calm, unobtrusive river.
But apparently, it can also be quite different.

View of the Loire

Highlight • River

It's a great passage that runs along the Loire, sheltered by trees and quiet.

we are now happy to be able to drive along the Canal du Nivernais.
It is more entertaining here than the part we drove along the Loire.
Here too, the place names are mounted upside down to protest.
Here from the internet:
Upside-down place names as a sign of protest


Because it is based on French movements that addressed national and European politics in November 2023. Almost 10,000 signs were turned upside down at town entrances in France at the time to symbolize the situation.
