24.6. Nantes

The just under ten-kilometer route into the city goes smoothly along a bike path following the Loire riverbank. In the city, bikes are parked and there's a walk around the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany and the old town. A reasonably good seafood spaghetti is eaten. Then the journey continues a bit further upstream along the Erdre river (a tributary of the Loire), but there's hardly any proper bike path and soon the trail becomes demanding, requiring a mountain bike, so we turn back. On the way back it starts raining again, so we arrive at the camp quickly.
