Loire by Bike: Inauguration of the Tours–Angers stretch - grand interregional festival 3 July 2005 in Montsoreau – Candes-Saint-Martin

The Centre and Pays de la Loire regions are delighted to announce the opening of a further section of the Loire à Vélo (Loire by Bike) cycle route. The route will eventually run all the way from Cuffy (Cher) to Saint-Brévin-les-Pins (Loire-Atlantique). By way of a warm-up, however, the two regions which instigated the project will be inaugurating the stretch between Tours and Angers on 3 July 2005. This summer’s opening of a significant stretch of the Loire by Bike route will allow residents of the two regions, as well as tourists, to cycle safely along 90 miles of continuously signposted cycle trails through the riches of a living cultural landscape included on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites.
