I love this climb to Saint-Michel, with a 180° turn that almost feels like you're in the mountains. Nice view of the Loire valley at the top.... read more

I love this climb to Saint-Michel, with a 180° turn that almost feels like you're in the mountains. Nice view of the Loire valley at the top.

J’aime bien cette montée vers Saint-Michel, avec un virage à 180°, on se croirait presque en montagne. Beau point de vue en haut sur la vallée de la Loire.
