9,27 km cycling route from Gilly-sur-Loire to Bourbon-Lancy
You feel the irresistible pull of the Loire on this EuroVelo 6 Burgundian stage. From Gilly-sur-Loire to the charming little thermal spa town of Bourbon-Lancy, a pretty cycle track goes along a disused railway line. A highlight is the Château de Saint-Aubin-sur-Loire, its formal French gardens descending to the river. This stage is easy and enjoyable.
