TOUR DAY 2 (September 9) NANTES to ST-FLORENT LE-VIEL

Started off the day right with FINALLY finding the maps I needed at the Detours Bike Rental in Nantes

Dedicated bike path along the Loire river- with the cloudy and drizzly weather,  I hardly saw anyone all morning

What killed my iPhone was... leaving the screen on and the GPS on all day...  it didn't last to St. Florent, but died about 10km away

The bridge crossing at Mauves Sur-Loire

The best soup I've ever had- cold tomato & amazing

The main course was good as well with a mushroom dijon sauce I think.. the potato in the foil tasted like an apple.  Dessert was good too- all for 10 Euro one of the BEST lunches of my life

This road is paved with good intentions- oh, no it's not paved at all.  Something you become very aware of with skinny big diameter racing wheels.

1.5 km before getting to the sign I've been looking for

Taken from a hilltop in the vinyards between Varene and Champtoceaux... the hills really slowed me down today.
