Castles between Le Loir and La Flèche

The ride

Roll out of Luché-Pringé and the castles come thick and fast: first Gallerande, then Les Carmes, before the route slips into the marais de Cré sur Loir et la Flèche nature reserve. Follow the Loir onward to the Château de Bazouges and the Château du Maurier, then spin the last stretch back to where you started. All 81.6 km are paved, with 458 m of climbing along the way.
