Briare to Cosne sur Loire

It's Sunday and we've got a lovely day to start biking. The route we're taking is the euro velo 6 ,which goes from Nantes on the Atlantic and finishes at the black sea with the Danube. We'd done the first stage a few years ago along the Loire, and now we wanted to see how far we could get on this stage, from Briare to Basel in Switzerland . This town is well known for the amazing aqueduct that carries traffic over the Loire valley.Designed by Eiffel.

 

  The next cheeky shot Christine took is me having a nervous pee as we are about to cycle past one of the 95 nuclear power stations France has. I think what I'll remember most of the 1st day though are these BLOODY MOSSIES
