24,10 km cycling route from Montoire-sur-le-Loir to Ruillé-sur-Loir
Back in the saddle, head to the intriguingly named village of Trôo, right by the Loir. Climbing from the waterside, discover troglodytic homes concealed in the riverbank. Next, after hugging the Loir for a time, the route moves furtively away from it at Couture-sur-Loir, where the birthplace of splendid 16th-century poet Ronsard stands out. Then comes the intense Jasnières wine area, before you enter the county of Sarthe at Ruillé-sur-Loir.
