Itinerary

Nantes is transforming itself, building 3 new mass transit lines and a new bridge, to be delivered by the end of 2027. 
During the works, La Vélodyssée will continue to run along Quai de la Fosse, but the cycle path will be adapted to the site environment.

On the right-hand bank of the Loire, the cycle routes are currently uneven: cycle strips and lanes.  Traffic is particularly heavy here, so caution.  

Alternative and connections

A route south of the Loire is currently under development - from Île de Nantes > Trentemoult > Bouguenais > La Montagne > St-Jean-de-Boiseau > Le Pellerin.  This will, in particular, allow the discovery of another part of the perennial works displayed on the Estuary as well as a more natural Loire.
