Day 8

Here's the canal crossing the Loire at Briare.

Ended up being a nice, warm day. Much better than yesterday and a total contrast to this morning. Not sure if this is normal for the time of year or not.
Seeing the Loire this morning revitalised our souls. Spectacular. Felt more like Africa to me, and far more beautiful than expected.
Bit of off-road right along side it was great. Nothing broke on either bike which was a bonus.
Chateau at Sully quite beautiful, but as usual on this schedule, a couple of snaps and we're off.... Past three groups of archers shooting life size (cartoon-like) fake animals along the river bank. Bizarre, and luckily they didn't shoot us either.
Only the huge power station spoilt the view at one point. Why anyone would stick a huge monster like that right on the edge of a heritage site is anyone's guess.
