Langs de La Blanche en de Canal Maritime de la Basse Loire

The ride

This loop rolls out of Saint-Viaud and back again, 78.1 km with 336 m of climbing. The route is fully paved, so you can settle in from the first turn. You follow the Canal Maritime de la Basse Loire, then trace the L'Acheneau and La Blanche rivers before the Canal de Haute-Perche carries you toward home. A steady spin through water country, start to finish.
