La Loire à vélo – Échappées belles

La Loire à vélo – Échappées belles

hello hello to all friends I am very happy to meet you on the banks of the Loire for your new beautiful escapes I have just arrived in Saur and what struck me in discovering this corner of France is the very peaceful side which reigns with this river obviously the bridges of Pierr the small wooden boats and I really hope that this is the feeling that you feel when discovering these landscapes with me today I am going to take you to discover part of this river of Saumur to the ocean, the Loire is the longest river in France, a little over 1000 km, which runs from the foothills of the Ardèche to the Atlantic and to make this journey I decided to use a bicycle electric is what a lot of people who come here do because these banks of the Loire are very popular with all bike lovers hi Vincent hi Ismaël it’s okay it’s okay and you’re doing very well delighted delighted you did well road yeah super really impeccable do you want me to do a little checkup of your bike yeah definitely come on it seems to be well inflated at the front well you’re the bike specialist listen it’s good eh well then make me dream what awaits us on the way well we are going to see the castles the trogloditic houses the vineyard and the Loire ah it’s not bad that normally it should go well yeah I have the impression and I think you’ll really like it so make yourself comfortable on your sofa turn off your cell phone take a deep breath it’s really a journey into the sweetness of life that I’m offering you this evening so get ready for the adventure let’s go for Ismaël kelifa happiness is as simple as a wheel I knew that with you we were going to get off the beaten track but here we are today luxury is slowness for me I am a very fast person it was becoming obvious to do this kind of trip because it allowed me to see things in another way on the cycle paths we are never really alone the Loire by bike it is a route which is very very busy now which is very well known ago about 800 to 1 million bikes per year and for me it’s my balance it’s the bike so working by bike ultimately makes me feel really good an escape along the Loire and I like it a lot winter when the currents are powerful when nature is present you V a more powerful experience than the one you can live in Antarctica exactly there I am looking for catfish we still have specimens which can reach 2.50 live the passion for cycling here there is no classic car it is a kind of car bicycle a bicycle in a historical journey here is this bicycle it is really the very first bicycle which was used for hiking spiritual being a Christian it is a bit like riding a bicycle at night and invigorating I started the competitions in 1971 I had to do around 600,000 km and then maybe 2000 races to friends on the banks of the Loire welcome to the banks of the Loire I have the impression that life is rather pleasant there Vincent yes we are good here because we are in a microclimate that we call mildness in June here we are called Nigeriens these are the people who live on the banks of the Loir we always have this reputation of cool people who live to the rhythm of the descent of the river ok for you who is a bike guide here Vincent what makes this wall so exceptional well already its great historical past for a small town of 25,000 inhabitants we still have 64 historical monuments and then above all the wealth that the Loire brought us with the baeliers the navy it was at what period this trade was so important on the Loire then the peak was in the 18th century we had approximately a boat every 10 minutes which passed under the pumps on the wall ah yes ok it really was a mecca of exchange it’s too fast for me Vincent you’re going to see something extraordinary ok come on I’m trying to overtake you where are we there so then we have the Chandonier fashion that’s it call the fashion castle Chandenier Chandenier yeah absolutely and so we’re going to see a real sense of solidarity because that this castle was in ruins, there is a whole team of volunteers around it to preserve it, it burned in 1932 and in fact now the owners are the trees, what a sumptuous view this castle is, take a look there look at the little hazel tree hop it’s exceptional we don’t realize there is no soil there is no earth it’s trees growing which are developing on an old paved courtyard of the Château wou already outside it is very impressive but there we really arrive in a here it is the garden of Eden yeah it a little that nature has taken back its rights here I present to you Arnaud hello everyone it’s okay my friend it’s okay yes HI Arnaud delighted Ismaël you are the master of the project’s work there it’s this or there yes indeed I am a page architect and I have followed the project since its creation so you see it’s been 3 or 4 years now there we are on a small bridge which prevents us to damage the ground of the castle hop there but there what you are doing is you are going to remove all the vegetation to rebuild the castle what is the project of the people here so definitely not it turns out that it is a very very stable balance between the ruin and the vegetation and well it is absolutely necessary to keep it as it is so prevent it from deteriorating further with footbridges which will allow circulation throughout the interior of this building but also discover all the sculptures which are made on the building which were made in the 19th century which are also quite exceptionally rich it is the fire which destroyed the castle it is not the vegetation the vegetation accompanies it the vegetation highlights it that made it the most romantic ruin of the castles of the Loire well maybe give them a helping hand yeah that wouldn’t be bad yes what can we do to help you then well we’re going to go water the roses who are at the inside of the castle okay and well there you go thank you very much thank you you saw that it’s amazing we go through the window of the door it’s not easy be careful there are a few brambles there it’s easier for the cat it’s incredible it grew 2 m and this is the one we planted with my wife when we planted the rose bushes it’s really nice to see it develop like that is it is magnificent and how did you come across this project of renovating this castle listening to the base we have a crownfunding campaign and my wife wanted an unusual gift and I found that it was really the unusual gift became chaelin for 50 € I found it great so I bought shares wait for that VE say that there was a call for donations on the Internet that’s the CRE of there was a call for donations on the Internet and for 50 € you could take a part of the castle is exactly that and there are a lot of people who have done that yeah there are no there were 25,000 shares sold but that Arnaud is a very original way of saving the old bapties no well it’s yes we wouldn’t have had this this contribution there it was finished for the castle a large part of the castle but it must be said that it is still beautiful we when we are when we came to see it we are we really fell in love with this castle and we lived near Melin ENAR and we came to live in Loudin 9 km away, wait, that means that you have to get closer to this castle in 3 months, that’s it, we didn’t have any really big discussions discussions it was obvious that this had to be done there is a proverb which says alone we go faster but with others we go further completely and it is also a very beautiful human adventure because we made very beautiful meetings it’s a very very pretty story we set off towards Amboise city center we see emerging from the mist the Gothic facade of the Château d’Amboise the facade built at the end of the 15th century the cyclists who mark the Loire cycle route by bike many are interested in the menu which runs along the river it is the ideal path to discover from village to town the wonders of the regionis it is certainly the most charming town in the Loire Valley which combines natural heritage with cultural heritage we see more things by bike we obviously take a lot more time so we look at the architecture we look at the details you won’t see by car practical and handy the wheel allows you to quickly reach the most beautiful viewpoints like here on the terraces and gardens of the Château d’Amboise, a jewel of the Renaissance which overlooks the river, it’s a bit of a hybrid that we cycle and at the same time visit it’s quite improbable and cool traveling by bike is opening your soul to roaming the Loire by bike and its 900 km of marked trails between the East of the Loire near Saintnazer seems tailor-made for this desire to escape a cultural itinerary enhanced by abundant nature which particularly appeals to families, some of whom have raised cycling as an art of living, pick up the sardines with me, go for it, go hard, go on like every morning for 9 months Eugénie Vincent and their two daughters Anou and soisic are preparing to leave their camp for the night we are starting to feel pretty bad the cans are full go ahead of the routine for this family who left Chambéry in Savoie who gave up everything to live the cycling adventure for a year the objective of the trip is a desire to go and take some time with family so we say France go B there is a way I think to make an itinerary that holds up and which rivers are nice they have a small natural slope that slides towards the ocean which makes it quite easy to follow when you are loaded like us we understood how traveling by bike worked traveling by bike is being free from constraint ultimately it’s what do we eat where do we sleep and what do we do with our days so it’s pretty cool well that’s it, it’s a good spot for eat there perfect we rarely have the opportunity to take so much time for yourself to disconnect from everything else and then to listen to everyone’s rhythm what is your rhythm you SWIC question rhythm there are also those who practice the Loire by bike every day like every day when she leaves her work in the heart of the town of Anger Sonia heads towards the Loire there she leaves for 50 minutes and 17 km a few strokes of [ __ ] are enough for her to skirt the castle of the Dukes of Anjou and branch off towards small natural paths far from the noise of the city and there it’s magical there it’s very very beautiful I’ve been a psychiatric nurse for over 30 years and that’s really what I’ve found now to cut through of my work because there is still a lot of pressure and a lot of tension a good hour of cycling feels like a real s in fact between what I experience at work and then once I arrive home I I evacuated everything a little bit It’s quite nice, maybe that’s what makes me think that if I were among the cars or in the middle of traffic I wouldn’t be able to do as much but it’s a completely heavenly journey so we never tire of it and there when you cross this bridge or you say to yourself cow it’s another world at the end of the road a small village located at the edge of the water friends who are waiting to celebrate the end of the day here we are, hello Sonia is only 17 km from Anger but a thousand places from work that’s it we arrived with friends there in fact we all know each other a little bit in Lombardière it’s a small village very friendly little community and we are part of the marigners that’s it but there are a lot of peopleah YES to lombardire all the sameah yes yes yes to friends from the banks of the Loire every day on vacation or on a long trip the Loire by bike is a parenthesis for the body as well as for the mind AR it’s a change from the ruins of the fashion castle Chandenier there we met you this atmosphere on the Loire it’s true that the moats are a little bigger there for the moment where you have a large moat which is called the Loire c ‘it’s very nice to be with you we have space as soon as you are a little silent I find that you feel what you explained to me when we met the inhabitants of the Loire who live to the rhythm of the Loire there we really are in there you have all the sounds of nature the little birds the wind in the trees and you let yourself be carried what for me I know that I could never do without it it’s clear never my dream it’s finally it’s no longer a dream now it’s becoming a reality I am rebuilding a boat yeah and me it’s for living on it ah okay ah yeah and what do you call this kind of boat so that’s a completely cabané cabané because there is a house on it and it’s really the boat I would say traditional of the Loire and of its tributaries wow it’s a traditional boat because well already it’s flat bottoms because the Loire there are a lot of strips of sand so you can’t go there with a traditional boat with a kille for example you always have sand strips which its real you do not see and in fact the person who knows the Loire perfectly will see these little wavelets where you must not pass with your with your boat in fact the Loire is like a big snake so the channel on which you can pass it undulates and moves throughout the year so we have to learn to find where this big snake goes and follow it because that’s where there is the most water in fact hello we’re going You see the little one there a great momentettete ball on the Loireve pleasure which is really great I find on this Loire that wherever you are accompanied by the Champ des Oiseaux is silent that’s it super well done thank you for you the journey continues yeah the journey continues thank you to you really great come on we’re off hello welcome back hello have a good trip I’m surprised by the crowds even though on this road we feel that there are a lot of bikes following the course of the Loire there are about 100,000 to 1 million bicycles per year so you see it’s still quite enough yeah ah or still with you I tick all the boxes on the postcard of the Loire even the castle the bike yes and then the boat on the Loire well you have to check one last one it’s the taped apples what are the taped apples it’s a local specialty which got lost in the bah in time and then for several years Sylvie and the whole apple team typed they revitalized the thing so it’s the postcard sweet and dessert department it’s exactly hello hello that’s what we call the TR houses the house in the rock what exactly is it with this rock we make beautiful house facades hello it’s okay it’s okay it’s okay and you and then you sell typed apples that’s it yes these are apples which are peeled and dehydrated for 3 days but how do you type them apples so I always hit with a hammer ah yes the goal is to modify the shape otherwise I couldn’t put 12 apples inside they are whole just peeled and on what occasions did we eat that so it was the sailors especially who took people who were sailing on the Loire to the Loire because it’s full of vitamins and it’s a tradition that dates back to the end of the 19th century, you could keep it for more than 10 without any problem and so he put it in the jars he transported it to the Loire because it had a huge shelf life so what do we take Vincent I recommend a little red wine with that and then as a main course we’re going to take a small terrine I lets you choose you have black pudding apple typed or otherwise you have FO of poultry apple typed Porto we take both ah listen come on it works come on let’s go hendu you’re going to take a right and look soon we’re going to sink into a cave Ishmaël it’s crazy right in the middle of the village like that and yes that’s what we call troglodites yes exactly you feel a bit of freshness there yeah and it’s true that I’m starting to miss my little jacket yeah well you will be able to put it back because here it is always the same temperature and you it’s like winter you’re at 10 12 deg and it’s just great you see to preserve our little Saumur champign we preserve wine in these galleries yes ESS we taste our little tapé apples and yeah I want to taste and that makes me What are these typed apples used for in fact so they serve me in wine from the region ah yes it’s strong all the same go ahead and honor the local stop hop but listen it’s pretty good ah yeah it’s good there is the apple which is completely soaked so but which is still crunchy and melting and then behind you have the wine which has become liqueur which lengthens and which hits a little on the head also when even you see that we have products on which type it’s not the apples typed wow it’s still funny to eat that here it’s rather nice and then it’s always a pleasure to share what I know since childhood it’s top what it’s really great as soon as the sun shines through the clouds the banks of the Loire light up with the very particular whiteness of the tufo emblem of Nigerien architecture this stone is present everywhere this success of the tufo has lasted for centuries as a result since the beginning of the 20th century the quarries are empty which did not prevent them from finding a second youth I let advance a little here near his wall the wine producer Bouv uses them to age his wine a local curiosity which can be visited by bike the house has existed since 1851 it was founded by Étienne Bouvet and Célestine ladubet he started by buying 8 km of underground galleries to launch into the production of sparkling V come on here we go today the wine is getting better at sheltered from the light in more than 80 km of gallery a beautiful space to stretch your legs while pedaling it’s really very fun we are on vintage bikes so or that adds this little extra spice and it’s true that we like it a lot now a little more about the origin of the tufou stone do you know a little bit about its origin yes at the time here we really had all the sea ​​which covered the enjou so as the sea receded we had sediments that’s why we have here a limestone clay soil which will be very beneficial for the town come on let ‘s go we continue from the Middle Ages to nowadays this region has not been spared by conflicts and these cavities connected to each other have often been used to manage populations 1500 km of galleries like this one crisscross the basement of the banks of the Loir astonishing and mysterious this obscure landscape has become the dream playground for history and archeology lovers like Laurent and Pascal, two inhabitants of the village of Doué Lafontaine, there we are in an invisible city in fact hidden from O est LA UNDERGROUND as we call it with Pascal in fact where we have to imagine that we have thousands of cellars in fact under our feet we can very well cross this street without seeing anything at all unless we are a little curious and we begins to see the chimneys of the TV antennas which poke through the middle of the fields like this and there you have to approach this trogloditic universe the two men have been exploring it since their adolescence and they decided to make it known in a Book Photo intended for the general public you take the stairs but yeah don’t get too close anyway we are also passionate about heritage and this one in particular which is perhaps less known in fact on which it is everything and anything is said and we would like to reveal things at least share them to make great discoveries you have to dare to push open doors, even the least engaging ones, you put your shoulder on welcome to paradise wow yes still as splendid this is how our two adventurers discovered one day this entrance in the backyard of a village farm and a real treasure it is among one of the oldest chimneys in France but which is absolutely not listed by all the unknown specialists that’s it, let’s go, that’s how it is, it’s not too bad, we can see the way we’re doing has some actually interesting works which speak precisely of these places which were given by a local lord to establish a chapel a prioré so we imagine by cross-checking that it would perhaps be the prioré which would be from the 12th 13th century that’s what is great my hairs always stand up ah well here yes yeah there is something in fact in these places something is happening we feel these are places which have a soul from this chapel underground a maze of corridor from improbable lights resembling wild jungles opens to the two explorers walking here is taking steps in places which have sometimes not been visited for 150 years then these are places we is cut off from time we were able to see the landmarks so from day to night it’s true that we had the chance to see nuggets going down into these quarries where in fact we even found sculptures of faces which are sculpted in made by the quarrymen while waiting for the publication of their books Laurent and Pascal are continuing their research and hope to discover other hidden treasures in this world apart from hi hi it’s great that you came to pick me up with this car, a movie car I understand that you were a family of collectors with Jacques, your husband, nothing to say, I’m going up, great, and off we go, ah, it’s great, there’s a little Queen of England side, he wants to say hello to all me and tuartages this passion of old cars with something that we have shared for around thirty years already ah or when Mrs. you met there how long approximately 35 years ok first a car and then and how many do you have today around fifty ah yes and here is the castle ah but it’s our friend Jacqu hello it’s going it’s going well so this rideah great it’s really a very special feeling of the Loire sea with a vehicle like this quite a vehicle of 1925 was almost the beginning of the automobile, we admire the shapes, there it is, a work of art, come on, thank you , Aline, as soon as the engine stops, we pass into another sound atmosphere, tranquility and what is what was happening in this castle then before what is its history then the Bordier family was there in 1860 initially it was a manor and n made a castle it was an important property there were in fact more than 600 haectares at the time well so where are these collections inside ok I feel that things are happening behind these doors lots of things to see your little smile there ah yes you have a car in the entrance of your house yes a little ugly Charles Mochet from 1956 so everything is brick in fact at your house the castle the collection uh must actually be in a logic focused on the heritage that we maintain that we renovate and and that we share above all Oh yes okay there are everywhere a lemonette a Citroën toy year 25 30 HE it’s a child’s car powered by a small electric motor the tire is a real tire in fact okay the headlights are real headlights a citronette I love it because there are spinning tops there, little planes finally I have the impression that we are in your childhood imagination there so maybe maybe we don’t become a collector we are a collector so it’s is in the soul is it’s a child’s soul that I think we’ve always looked at and you have some beautiful bikes there eh bikes yes I’m going to steal one from you for the rest of my bike ride so this bike 1898 ok we are on a configuration of a classic bike he we start to have a chain even if we have teeth which are not the one we know today but especially with a design I find it very extraordinary beautiful I am not at all a collector what is the pleasure pleasure is to seek seek and finally find when do you get a little adrenaline uh often for me it’s it’s the object that uh when I see this kind of thing it’s uh that’s it it speaks it speaks to me listening to you it’s not nostalgia but it’s fascination for a heritage and for an era true yeah it’s true it’s true it’s true absolutely yes come on come on I have to show you something another oddity in the in the history of the automobile it’s one more Schmith tank on microcar from 1956 with a particularity it’s uh the cockpit coming completely from aviation wait because mess Schmid it’s not the German World War II plane manufacturer, it’s true that there we feel the know-how of aviation because just the steering wheel looks like an airplane handle. what the handle of actually of aviation and it’s the cockpit eh it looks like you know science fiction comics the 60s yes yes that’s it that’s that but I like it this kind of vehicles they are they are completely atypical they have an incredible friendly face and but it’s crazy that you managed to bring all that together because even this one is really different the manufacturer it’s one of the hedges okay this car it has in plus a particularity is the absence of an amount ah yes it’s true that there is no amount to hold the windows of the car which means that when you lower all the windows you really have a total view it There is even a question that I ask myself listening to you Jacques is that you are talking about a lot of manufacturers that I don’t know at the beginning of the century more than 250 manufacturers in France ah yes the country was rich in industry yeah hence also the fact that French automobile history be so anchored in us ah it’s completely part of the heritage we were able to preserve many of these cars which shows precisely that we really had a wealth in France it’s okay hello friendsz have a good trip us impeccable beautiful castle magnificent reflections on the water superb everything for a beautiful stroll since its invention in Germany in 1817 the little queen never stops turning the heads of collectors so here we go we left this group of friends from the Orleans region reached of acute collectors has got into the habit of meeting up for costumed walks that’s the the the pinnacle of pleasure for us it’s getting together in costume to make people discover our pleasure that’s really what makes us so happier it gives us the banana from the dresienne to the big B via the swallow or this backpedaling bike every collector has at least one model which marked the beginnings of cycling ah the collection for people like us it’s a endless quest to always find something that we don’t have something that others don’t have this Cyclopede bike for example the first bike in [__] history which opened the horizons of athletes in search of escape al here is this bike it is really the very first bicycle which was used for hiking the very first trip that we know of was made in 1865 by the Olivi fires they made a trip from Paris to Avignon it was the first first cycle tour ride in quotes from the history of cycling these collectors are not the only cycling enthusiasts the passion for cycling sometimes gives rise to a more mystical fervor you saw that one of your bikes was put in front the hotel being a Christian following Jesus is a bit like riding a bike at night and you have a little light but the little light illuminates that a few meters in front of you the parish priest Father Paul is so fond of cycling that he can’t help but combine his work with his favorite hobby today the mass ends with a somewhat special celebration in the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit amen the Lord blesses all your bikes young people so there you go children you can go on [ __ ] in the clockwise bravo bravo Victor bravo Alexis well watch for your helmet ah you shouldn’t ride without a helmet that There’s no point in having been blessed if you don’t put on a helmet 10 minutes after mass it’s time for Father Paul to get down to business Olivier a high-level parishioner cyclist joins him hello Olivier hello Paul I’m okay I’m okay and you impeccable today we are going to do 2 hours to pull the Bour a little and well great we are going towards the banks of the Loire for a very particular training I am preparing the trans cycling championship of the clergy an annual race which brings together the religious and the nuns of France who have this passion for cycling the French clergy cycling championship has existed for 20 years this year 54 participants like Father Paul will surpass themselves to win the winner’s jersey the level has increased greatly over the years there is strong people so we prepare well that’s why I’m going I’m going to go to the Roule d’Olivier in sudi sur Loire another competitor joins the training hi Robert how is it vacable great it’s good at 70 years old the father Robert never missed the clergy cycling championship and it’s not about to stop I started competing in 1971 I must have done around 600000 km and then maybe 2000 race 600000 km is that you realize that you had time to go around the planet 15 times with I didn’t realize it at the time there 200 years after its invention do cycling remains the promise of eternal youth while retaining your child’s soul you have the impression of riding a pedal boat on earth ah completely pedal boat there you will have to gain momentum there because okay be careful ah there oh oh there ah well it’s working look oh there it’s a Sabon box it’s a oh the door is open the door is open it brings you closer you saved my life yeahou there you go and well done my Jacques great it’s cool it’s cool yeah it’s it’s sporty especially here there are no classic cars there are only atypical cars this one where did you get it because I had never seen a vehicle like that for me it’s a kind of car bike it’s a wooden car built in the 1930s its original color blue but probably repainted for the circumstances of the war and what do you call it this vehicle then a veloar and that comes from a construction by Charles Mchet who wanted to democratize the car in fact there was the possibility of putting a small auxiliary engine for the hills it’s funny there is even the little Saint-Christophe Saint-Christophe protects you ‘Motrix oil protects your engine here’s a remark I understand that you don’t have much confidence in the car because you have an accident with it frankly ah yes there is no airbag there you also have to imagine that there was less much less car we’re going to go look in the greenhouse I’m going to introduce you to my son Valentin I think this greenhouse is great there is a harmony in this place say so yeah it’s the tropical jungle here hi Valentin Ismaël hi Valentin hi Ismaël enchanted enchanted him dad the son exactly there are two generations magnificent ts there yeah yeah or yeah and then there are there are a whole bunch of plants some of which are completely unknown in particular it’s I don’t know if he said something no what is that and well it’s the earth pear so it’s a vegetable whose tubers are eaten there’s one right here you’ll even be able to taste it ah it really has the texture and color of the pear exactly thank you very much Valentine it’s delicious it’s very fruity we can eat it in fruit salad we can eat it raw or cooked and it’s an excellent winter vegetable and how many different varieties of fruit plants do you have vegetables here I must have a little more than 400 varieties of aromatic vegetables and edible flowers and everything can be eaten and you earn your living by selling all that at the market or at all I do guided tours of the places and then training and that are you doing this this morning and well I was transplanting tomatoes there we have a young plant ready to be pricked and we are simply going to plant the tomato so I make a hole like this with my thumb how old are you Valentin and well I just turned 26 ah I always find that wonderful to meet young people like you who seem to have found their place I think that but there are more and more young people who are starting to garden today it’s going like that it’s perfect we’re going put the little labels so you don’t forget the name variety because there are more than 70 here I’m going to make you smell a very astonishing plant we have right here I invite you to rub the leaf and then come closer there is a smell of lemon a little bit yes indeed very strong there is another smell with it but I can’t identify it it’s a rose smell ah and that we can use it as an infusion for example lemon rose ah wow it must be good that and that on the other hand we have another one that looks the same as of drops of water it’s true and yet it is very very different it’s amazing it smells like Coca-Cola exactly that’s it yes it’s that and that’s the same we can make drinks out of it yeah a vegetable coke completely and how long did it take you to create all that, the greenhouse was counted in around ten years, there was a huge amount of work done, the greenhouse was completely abandoned so there wasn’t a single glass left served as an aviary for those doing it well done thank you a lot it’s amazing dansenttin ah it feels good to get out of the greenhouse after a moment yeah we must be proud of the son anyway no we are completely proud of the son seeing you both which touches me c is that on this same castle you develop very different passions and which come from different generations finally there is the culture of the car in a certain way which is more specific to both of you than to the parents and then to the culture of the nature of this return to earth the idea is that we each progress in a field and the goal of the maneuver I was going to say is to make this place a place that can be visited that people appreciate and learn things and that we share it with passion no but I find it beautiful because we spend our time hearing that there is no harmony between generations and showing you that the dreams of before and the dreams of today can coexist what and it is possible sun hello you are going where there you are going verss Nant yes yes yes absolutely by Laireve we left Saur ah well like me and then this evening we sleep in Saint-Forent le Vieux or you like it or not so yeah we disconnect very quickly from everyday life the impression that ‘we’ve been gone for several days even though we started yesterday morning so that’s great there’s wisteria everywhere she wants to take photos of all the GLs okay that’s good you shouldn’t take long at each times to do some miles I think we’re going to go a long way together he because I’m going in the same direction as you ah it’s going to be cool to ride with company what’s that Gliss smell ah but you feel now you don’t dare take a photo no well there’s a hole in your camera but it’s true that nature is beautiful on this course yeah well it’s the beginning of spring you feel that there has the smells that come back and everything is so good it makes you want to start the adventure again so elsewhere it was the idea you have a lot of itineraries all marked out you can discover France like that there we on this portion we mainly encountered families a little more lords too and me in which category do you put young people or seniors middle ah thank you aha thank you good since you are questioning me about my age I put my assistance we are doing the race I don’t want to because you go fight me and between imagine an adventure and living it there is only one step or rather just a stroke of [__] to cross a maxim which sums up Philomène’s state of mind for 7 years this thirty-year-old has made adventure by bike a way of life today luxury is slow, I am a very speedy person so for me it became obvious to do this kind of trip because it allowed me to see things in another way and I always start from the principle when I go on a trip not to find out beforehand. This is what also allows me a little freshness of spontaneity and to be amazed after having cycled through the South America and Australia launched a more local challenge to follow the Loire from its source to its mouth 1000 km alone and in complete autonomy so I left on March 6 from Mont Gererbier de Jon so who is the source and therefore I covered approximately 650 km I am halfway so as not to clutter up with unnecessary things Philomène made a radical choice to feed herself with what nature can offer her on her way she met Nathalie a plant specialist edible wild ones who have lots of tips to give him for his trip hello what are you looking for us there look I have already started the little picking but that I simply don’t know about Ronse leaves well yes but I I didn’t recognize it you see it’s super good in infusion it gives a little fruity taste you look at the beautiful tuft of prenelle bread there it is it’s beautiful it’s superb it’s a plant which is astringent you can feel it it tightens the tissues and so it’s a plant that is used both for healing and for diarrhea in fact nettles are super interesting for you as a vegetarian ah well it’s my protein base for Well travel because it It’s still quite easy to find, you know that it contains up to 40% of the dry weight in proteins, so that means that there are all the amino acids like in meat and fish, so it would be a shame to miss out. next to it when traveling independently feeding yourself is not the only concern every day you also have to look for a place to sleep and in mid-season it is the weather which sets the pace when you look at the clouds there it is not great and there the forecasts are not good we’ll have to find where this evening I’m thinking so maybe knock on a local’s house yeah we’ll do that the hunt for a night at a local’s house can begin ah maybe there’s a game that the young woman knows well ok ok it will be easy but not that obvious especially when night begins to fall sorry to disturb you uh I’m going down the Loire by bike in fact as I saw that there was light in the boats I that this is the first to see if it there is a way to sleep well they say that the first time is good and well super that’s funny because there he came with his bouquet of wild plants as a gift philomè fortunately ended up finding a roof for the night when I am usually invited I like to arrive and offer something good there I don’t have any beer I have flowers but I brought back here are some little plants it’s cool the next day the race towards the estuary can resume at the rhythm of the cycling 25 km per day punctuated by improvised stops like collecting waste under the bridges there I see a bottle you can tell from the plastic that it spent a lot of time traveling in this pretty Loire well the plastic is so old that it is breaks and there is the earth it can absorb enormously of things and at a given moment it will not be able to absorb our overconsumption and our overplasticization of things for me it seems immensely easy to say to ourselves that if we stop producing all that waste no longer exists we no longer need to make sweat everyone to say it’s waste resolutely committed to the protection of nature philomè defines herself above all as an adventurous echo a term that she imagined with Anaël a friend who accompanies her today for the part there more ambitious of his trip I think that if we aim all that way in fact the wind will inevitably shift us a little bit over there the descent of part of the Loire by swimming today is the start first day for 140 K until the tour so the in tour it will be around 10 km per day a little apprehension because here I can see that it will be complicated given the current that today it has the opposite direction because we have gusts of wind around 60 a priori the great adventure is to be carried deain and can very well be experienced a stone’s throw from home this is what anaë will now share with Ismaël I knew that with you we were going to get off the beaten track but here we it’s there yeah it’s nice you have to have a good bike for that we’re going to stand there on the log of wood there yeah ah it’s cool a very nice view W what’s the little village over there so it’s is a big a big it’s a village of 2600 inhabitants or so not many people it’s a choice to settle in the countryside for you or you are from this kind of village both in fact I grew up in a village of 600 inhabitants therefore even smaller not very far from the Loire and uh and there to have done my studies to have been a lot in big cities you want to be TR nature and to have a magnificent playground just in front of my house when I prepared this trip I wanted to come see you because I saw that you were an adventurer from the Loire and it seemed surprising to me to link these two words you see when you see this PLU very calm ENF we are still all near very urbanized areas well in fact adventure is it’s a state of mind what I like about microadventure is precisely the idea that you can travel very close to home by going further in depth on culture on biodiversity on meeting people last year I went down the entire Loire by kayak it was quite an adventure of months and a half of bivoac meeting very different landscapes and you had done other adventures in France I saw yes the one in the Mediterranean where I sailed between Italy and Spain in a kayak and I organized waste collections ah okay yeah we collected more than 3 tonnes of waste ah anyway yeah and when I called you before coming you gave me a little challenge you told me you’re going to see we’re going to give you an experience on the Loire where you’re going to have the impression of being completely disconnected from the rest of the world exactly with my darling who is a kayak guide we’re going to take you to a small island in the Loire it’s going to be a bit like r Vincent Crusoe yeah that’s not bad where then your darling well we’re going to find him in a very particular place I don’t say any more, hop there then we’re not going to swim across ah well so much the better we’re going to cross with the chain ferry it’s so cool hop and so we’re going to pull to the other side that’s it yeah right so we’re going to shoot to the other side it’s going to bring us back to the shore of a big hop there I do because you can do it every day while yes it’s sure me no oh there it’s a great moment I’m happy completely unexpected and there you go it’s here Ishmaël ok the big courtyard you’ll see oh there I’m quick too what do you see from where but I think he’s going to have to don’t have to it’s okay he hello but what it’s that this place there it’s game is called the boule de for it’s the pétangue of the corner it’s the pétangue du coinê not even all of it it’s true yes he pushed he pushed I you presents Isma hi is hi Thomas it’s fine it’s fine and you it’s fine very serious it’s very serious which is the point of being taken by Pier ah it’s ester who took the point it’s who took the point but It’s not a joke here, it’s seriously and you in your family there is a tradition linked to the Boule de Fort well for me my grandfather was president of this company la grande cour I played the first time I was 13 years old at the time it’s It was mostly boys, me, my cousins ​​couldn’t come in, there was no woman here, we have the secretary, gold is there, so that ‘s modernized since the first female father in the office because they were forbidden, eh women and children for question that was that yes so why couldn’t but because they were societies by ceta it was a society of men and it did not accept women it was the good refuge of men while the women were working what you can say now that it’s boring it was their moment of relaxation there in les50 members everyone is now in agreement to accept women but we should explain to ismaë how that happens play then let’s throw a little ball ah well yes yes att they’re at one it’s almost finished it’s a game that is played in slippers ah or here it is roses from the 45 brilliant pink 45 c it’s me that your St I love it really feels like a strong boule player so it’s a round ball which has one side a little full here a little hollow here so that’s the weak side and that’s the strong side when we are going to throw the ball it will tend to start from the side of its strong uber it is how much the weight of a ball 1 K 2 1 K 2 I can watch attention hop ah yes it’s true that it ‘is heavy so the rules of the game are to be as close as possible to the little jack in a few s yes it’s like all bowling games he so well well here we throw and then you will see that it’s not so easy as it is not to throw too much quickly there it’s too quickly there it’s great because the time you launch until we see the result there we have time to go have a coffee exactly go to you go to go ah she’s a local girl she has that you’re going to miss it a little yeah it might be a little fair but the good point there normally you can make comments and that’s good but you’re giving too much load exactly I gave too much load that’s what I was going to say you see when I saw it go he gave too much load so to you very very flexible very veryp ah that’s good ah yes it should go far that turns out it’s going to do the point that’s not bad not bad not bad not bad it’s missing a little bit you’re not far from there thought ah ah ah if she’s going to get lost there oh she’s passing she’s passing yes bravo look you’re almost there bravo bra bra well well I think so that I will stay because that winning makes you want to continue playing, victory is stimulating but we are going to set off for the kayaking activity our boats are waiting for us on the banks of the Loire okay enjoy thank you recovery yeah it works ciao thank you very much here soon you saw how beautiful this sky is, yeah, the colors are spring green, the slightly dark clouds lighten it all up ah, it’s magnificent, eh, and why don’t we see any boats around us, well, here it is. is not an arm which is too navigable except really in winter in strong winds but the sailors are not too tempted because there are a lot of strips of sand that’s why we with our kayaks can really be stealthy and get as close as possible to this nature and you have already done kayaking in extreme regions finally when you think of kayaking you immediately think of Greenland this kind of place well I soaked the paguet a little bit in Quebec a little in South America and I did an experience in Antarctica also in the Antarctic Peninsula it’s true that it’s peasants but it’s not as changing as the Loire the Loire we have a show with the seasons we have a variation in the level of water and I like winter when the currents are powerful when nature is present you have a more powerful experience than the one you can live in Antarctica exactly we don’t hear that all the time even so you feel like you embody a new generation of adventurers I think that if we all spent a little more time outside marveling at what nature could offer us we would protect it more spontaneously just being there outside watching and taking the time ah I’m experiencing a moment of pure happiness there frankly it’s is too there there is more than to calmly straighten one porter gr impeccable creneau B that’s cool nice navigation ah yeah too well look at the sun for the perfect arrival a terrible freedom the cremon de Loire is really from here 1 km behind we can’t be more local on this coupl olé come on let’s go thank you Ismaël yours to the beauty of the Loire thank you thank you but I was thinking you met how we both met on the Loire ah well you were surprised that she was trying to lose me and that’s when you did your adventure where you went back down the Loire that’s it I had collected your trash I think you had perhaps recovered trash it’s so romantic that’s meeting on the law it’s eco-friendly love that’s it thank you for everything you come back when you want Isma and well with great pleasure to meet the species of the wildest river in Europe you sometimes have to show imagination swapping their bicycles for somewhat unusual kayaks two fishermen Hervé And Franck have found a way to discreetly approach the most remote areas of the river there is a current nonetheless eh it’s complicated to maintain eh so here it is the system in fact quite simply it’s this system there there it is The advantage of having a kayak with a [__] propulsion system for fishing is the plus because you have your hands free which allows you to see if I need to do something else at the same time As long as I move forward, it allows me to fish to fish while moving around and that ‘s really the best of the best, we’ll perhaps do a first setup there, you see, well listen, we’re going to try to get on the tree, here we are, setting up a set up there this morning the two friends are looking for the lord of his Eau Sauvage the biggest fish in the Loire there I am looking for the catfish which are hidden in the trees we still have specimens which can reach 2.50 VO same 2.70 which was caught a few years ago in the Loire, originally from Eastern Europe, the catfish is a new species here using the rainwater canals, it arrived in the waters of the Loire in the 80s, an installation which has not gone unnoticed some people consider it as a species which destroys everything which eats all the fish and others respect it quite simply because it is an integral part of our rivers now and the other Biot fish have found balance with this fish good so Fran not much a little touch but Bonz we assist a little it will do it if theire s invited in the Loire another species it has made its big comeback on the river it is the beaver hunted for its fur and its castoreum an odorous secretion widely used in perfumery the European beaver had completely disappeared until the reintroduction of a couple on the Loire in 1976 for 25 years it is the fetish animal of Jean-François Souchard a photographer who has devoted his entire career to the Loire there we have a beaver hut in general we say a beaver cut for 6 km there we realize that there are already two huts which are spaced apart 300 m so there is I think there is a bit of a housing crisis so now we are able to find families even on less than 6 km which this evening Jean-François must ask photo traps to study the behavior of beavers at night there we have a beaver paste for sale there the beaver comes out very very little in fact from the water so there we have absolutely no doubt about the absolutely no doubt about the presence of beaver there there are traces everywhere everywhere the most visible there in the landscape it’s all these all these trees there which were which were laid down more or less long ago and then afterward there are all the all the little twigs there in fact he he he cuts them and systematically he takes them to the water we are already going to put a first camera here hop from there it’s automatic we get a little into the intimacy of the Loire and the beaver but hey there it is a pretty big animal who weighs about 25 kg who has a really nice face it’s a big one it’s a big one it’s a bit a teddy bear, so there you have it, all you have to do is leave it alone and then come back and come back tomorrow so there we have a little trace that wasn’t there yesterday so we might have a chance of seeing the animal afterwards this night on the lookout the camera card finally releases these images and the least we can say is that this Hylo of the Loire is alive and well Garen Haon’s rabbit ash the Ragon’s mustache that’s great tock and we have a beaver which has arrived there it is in the process of scratching and it is in the process of placing a beaver that it’s quite incredible it’s really becoming the emblem of the Loire so it’s yeah me it’s is an animal that fascinates me and what is really interesting is that we realize that in one night we have five different species which I became a photographer to experience that to experience these moments of light of meeting with animals I think highly of myself lucky to live these moments what it is still it’s still unique to two PES at home I come all this I come to experience it by bike with my boat well no no I I I knock on wood for that so that it continues what u I make you a mixture or it’s too beautiful or hello hello hello you are well Morgane and Séverine that’s it yes that’s it ismaë enchanted Morgane hi Séverine you’re okay yeah and you well yes what do you pick up there this morning and well we have multicolor chard gr yellow white so it will be beautiful on the plate a little merune salad to accompany other salads that Maxime welcomed us later Maxime is a boy who worksc to Exactly, he’s one of the co-founders of the association who also works here and it’s been a long time since you created your restaurant, it’s called Chacha, that’s it, yes Chacha, it’s been 5 and a half years since I opened the chacha in the city center of Nantes in Bouffet which is the historic district of Nantes to eat for a restaurant it’s not bad anyway and why Nant then you have always lived here no before I I lived in Paris so I’m a Parisian who arrived no it’s very original yes there it is in all of Bordeaux it was Nant for me and I really wanted to open a restaurant in Nant and more of a vegetarian vegan type restaurant and then I liked this dynamic which had in Nant with all the associative environment we said everything around the ecology of moving on foot by bike plus by public transport a bit of a city where we breathe we are on the banks of the Loire what surprises me is precisely this place because it’s right in the city center you push the door there you arrive there and you say but it’s a chance to have this place and it’s is what pushes us also to open it as much as possible and to share it with as many people as possible, it is part of the association’s missions to offer this place to others, therefore to our members, to volunteers at schools, to as many people as possible so that the place in itself can bring people together around values ​​that are strong for us and that we share with you. do you have any aromatic herbs finally what is there at the moment at the moment I can tell you offer saau I can offer you elicris and curry herb very good you will make a curry with the vegetables perfect perfect and we have the first flowers of the season these are absolutely edible flowers and you can put them on your salads on soups have a rather subtle taste, it’s very pretty eh and then for us it’s plants which have their role to play in the garden they fix nitrogen in the soil they act as natural fertilizers so they’re plants that we grow before putting other things it also serves us to make manure for example which is a natural fertilizer for our plants and which keeps away certain insects we don’t really want it to come near our vegetables we must encourage what happens in nature without man intervening but there you have recreated the space just with a little push and then exactly but I find you have two beautiful and very complementary is that you ultimately take care of this space with what you grow and at the same time you take care of people by offering them food that comes from here and which is not destructive for what exactly I don’t know if she treats them but in any case she doesn’t or at least heals morale and when morale is good it seems to be for health yeah well that’s why I came to see you in fact I been a little depressed lately and I needed to eat well, I was told to come to your place , we’re going to arrive at Place Royale, that’s where everyone meets during big victories in football matches, rugby matches, that’s where where the Nants send messages there is necessarily a passage here when there are demonstrations yeah it’s a bit like the Place de la République in Paris what exactly exactly the building behind there is a church a cathedral c ‘is the church of Saint-Nicolas very very beautiful I love it because it’s very lively, this pedestrian center is very pleasant for cycling. There is a very modern side between what we saw this morning, the urban farm and this center where we feel that it is alive and where there is you don’t have a car, quite simply if you want to bring back a little souvenir to your family, a little Nantes specialty is the Nantes jokes, they’re little colorful bonbous, well that’s what I think my kids will love , hello miss, hello sir, hello hello sir, you make Rigolette that’s it yes Rigolette Nantaise indeed it’s a typically Nantes confectionery which has existed since 1902 we can see but more than see even ah we can also taste ah systematically as soon as we walk through the door we eat in a candy store you can try it in fact it’s the only place where you can test everything before buying it’s true ok everything and what flavor is there then lemon mandarin raspberry blackcurrant or pineapple blackcurrant blackcurrant V what I prefer a cassis and well come on I’ll taste blackcurrant like Séverine here it is a thin sugar shell filled with fried pulp so inside it’s just crushed fruit and seeing as you have your five fruit purees and it’s beet sugar from the North of France you still have your five fruits and vegetables in the same box it’s for health that we eat laughs but of course and well I go take a box of it well it’s perfect with pleasure go for the chacha and there you go and there you go nice restaurant so what are you going to cook Séverine a blett curry and Panet the Panet that you are in the process of peeling and I’m going to use elicrise which has the taste and smell of curry okay great and have you always worked in catering or not no before I was in communications and I wanted to open my restaurant to have well a little bit more meaning in my daily life moreover we define ourselves as a committed restaurant the majority of our customers are also engaged besides it’s it’s funny they are very interested in the approach with the bio-waste we compost it with the tricycle by the way Coline will come later to pick up the bio-waste jump so it’s a bowl of bio-waste okay and you know in the face of people like you who are committed like that there is others often say yes it’s a Bobo thing what do you say to these people well in fact the idea for us is not to advertise a vegan vegetarian restaurant it’s mainly to offer vegan vegetarian we also offer charcuterie boards from small extensive livestock farms around Nantes so everyone can get together and eat well and this allows you to discover meats that you can enjoy and eat something something very gourmet and complete with vegetarian or vegan cuisine it’s beautiful I think it’s a great approach thank you it’s Estine it’s Coline yeah where I am there I’m coming I’m coming it’s the jump which is right there if you can bring it to him I’ll be there straight away hello Coline there’s a lot of waste it’s a little heavy yeah but it doesn’t matter we’re used to it we empty it there so you go around the city with your little bike every day so we are a team of 10 and indeed there are tours every day in the mornings and in Nant we collect around a hundred places so it will be restaurants grocery stores nurseries there are lots of establishments more and more there is really an interest in that in any case and so the and we take them on a composting platform that we have in the city center and then it is redistributed either for the gardens or for markets or some city residents who live in apartments and who want small volumes of compost and well I see that you got to know my it’s good I it it’s okay it’s okay and you yeah it’s okay for a restaurant like yours what does this kind of initiative bring but for me it gives a little meaning to what we do on a daily basis with my team if 50 kg of biowaste so that’s what I produce in about a month at the chachat if you burn it it’s the same pollution as traveling 6000 km with a diesel vehicle so it’s worth going through the tricycle yes once that you hear that it comes from sources what well done Coline but hey all good things have a hunger if we want to eat something we have to go back to the kitchen and well come on it works see you soon Colineour have a good tour thank you and well there you go A little dinner just before the evening service ah we are there well well in the attack it will be good you have all the vegetables and in the aftertaste you have the curry which is very light very light yeah but then I’m amazed because we really have the sensation that curry has ah it’s good it’s a real discovery I suggest you extend this great pleasure along the Loire to go to the ocean and compared to what you have been able to see until now in your Nigerien journey well you will see tomorrow there will be landscapes really completely different from what you were able to see, great and well listen it will conclude this Nigerien experience very well, that is to say as a resident of the Loire ex come on let’s go for a sugar waffle hello dear morning customers so what pleases you a chocolate waffle a chocolate waffle necessarily two or three times a week a sweet scent of waffle invades the edges of the herdre 3 minutes of cooking attracted by these good scents the walkers and cyclists who use this walk appreciated by the Nant do not resist the temptation for long for a year Marie Astrid regularly sets up here with her original sonood bike waffle bike is quickly became an unmissable event I find the regulars I find people customers who have become friends because they knew me on social networks they came because they are cyclists it’s a bike they like my products and we chat and it’s really the local coffee I had chocolate it’s so good when launching her small business Marie Astrid joined the peloton of a family well established in Nantes the cyclo entrepreneurs we are several entrepreneurs on bikes we have an association called the bicycle boxes so we are several fot bikes doing things to eat things to drink we are used to working together it’s really community spirit I call them my colleagues and for for me it’s my balance it’s the bike so working by bike ultimately makes me feel really good we’re going straight we’re going to an event in Nant called the Nant Games Week for catering there will only be football bike ah great neighborhood house on the right for this event m to melt with pleasure and gluttony as many people as possible sometimes people arrive GPRS like that a deè you have the right it’s fine in this musine community she opted for the sharpened version that I be careful when Mrs. is going to meet people with her rolling sharpening workshop it brings back to life a traveling craft that the elders have not completely forgotten, it reminds me of the people who pass through the village or everyone with S Coutau I like manual work and the contact with the people there is really a lot of tools that can be sharpened and people generally don’t know it so that’s what’s surprising is that sometimes ah well you make the scissors yes I make the scissors they don’t think about pruning shears they accumulate the pruners in fact yes we will come to see you after his factory work finds Ludovic his companion and tr his bike to stir say the estuire de la Loire to carry out another more experimental project you are going to P capture sounds on I P see matirep Lejet nisc doing the visual sound capation by roaming around the photo album so we have two trailers one for the sound I have the one for the image I have my Street box in in my trailer passionate about the work du bois musine itself made this replica of a camera used at the beginning of the 20th century by street photographers so here in fact we are going to put a lens which will print on photo paper which is on the sliding part of the boarding of the ferry which crosses the Loire near Nantes is the ideal place to test their device it will really be an atmospheric photo really bringing me closer to what Ludo will capture in sound in a few weeks the duo will take other routes to bike to enrich this collection atmosphere as soon as you leave Nantes you find a Loire a little wilder yes bucolic edge of the Loire and what is this house over there which is all leaning it’s the house in the water it’s a work of the trip to Nant trip to Nant it is a cultural festival which takes place every summer in July August it is the city which organizes it and there are works all over Nantes and also around Nantes and this house in the water which is a reproduction of the small house at the port of Laavau Surloire it was a port which allowed blue granite to be transported so CIT a very very important port very small but very important we are going to take the ferry to go from the other side there it’s that’s it yes there we take the bac it’s it’s free as you can see we’re going to pass in front of everyone because we’re on bike yeah frankly you don’t appreciate it being in the car seeing all this I think to your life before when you were in advertising in Paris before opening your restaurant in Nantes it’s still a huge life change it seems so far away to me I really forgot what my Parisian life was like and for nothing in the world I would exchange my life before with that of today I really I am really good today even if you work a lot I imagine the pace is difficult there are so many good people nearby around that it is it that passes the quantity of work calm down you look at the boat there ah yes say so it’s also a work of the trip to Nanta a little you know the paintings of Salvador D with yes that’s exactly it famous Ride on horseback like in camarg but Loire Atlantique version it there’s a bit of that, a little greener, we see that it’s not raining anymore, it’s a little less dry , we’re doing pretty well in the sand, it’s okay, it’s okay, all that, but it’s really great, I know. is a little moving for me because I measure all the distance that I have made there it really feels like the end of the journey when you arrive at Srin it’s really the unmissable you have to go see the checheries it’s super typical and there I I spotted one we’re going to be able to taste some oysters that are waiting for us ah that’s it so the little gift that’s the little gift of the end awesome well you know how to talk to me because I love it hello hello welcome to the fisheries it’s beautiful say so at home ah yeah it’s wonderful it is one of you two this fishery no no no this fishery she left an association which has 150 members and in the year and well each member has the right to reserve five fisheries that means that you can come and spend the day as a member five times a year in the fishery it’s not the day it’s the tide then you have to fish at high tide so there is two fisheries per day and what do you catch then like fish here we take mainly shrimp cunt a few sols it also depends on the husbands ETI I heard about oysters there are hitres so the HES we take them we take them don’t take it where they are so that’s where it is there wow bi I prepared you a little TCA the glass of friendship yeah and well go on the attack want a little bread because the oysters with from the P it’s going well pu there is the Arab who is going through life thank you Le Petit Citron who is doing well thank you butter of O obviously not the look rather rather crystal Jean-Michel how would you describe the people here the people are are calm peaceful you can you can say that they are very welcoming also still very welcoming yes yes yes yes pe say that they are very accentually it doesn’t go against this evening no no no no no no because I was very well received since I arrived here is it the Yodé side that does this in the area I the countryside and the sea close to each other the countryside and the sea close to each other on the other yeah actually well we’re going to toast anyway yes come on here to your welcome eh thank you to your welcome especially to yours cine here go everything must disappear or or well there you go friends it is here in this friendly atmosphere and then in this breathtaking setting that ends my beautiful escapes along the Loire what I really liked during this trip was the diversity of what I encountered on my route, firstly the richness of the heritage with the magnificent castles of Saumur and the Val de Loire and then wealth of nature with this river and these green banks which flow here into the Atlantic and then finally I was touched by the human richness of the people who welcomed me I met people who have a real passion but who are often very modest and despite this I was welcomed each time in a really exceptional way, special mention for me given what I like in life for the little aperitif on the island of Robinson Crusoe with anaë and Thomas in a kayak we sometimes believe that you have to go to the end of the world to experience this kind of moment and well I experienced it in the middle of France to relive my beautiful escapes between its wall and the Atlantic Ocean you know there is the replay then I’ll meet you very soon on social networks and for new adventures at the end of the world right near you, I’ll go get my bike see you soon friends
