Loire what Loire? To Montsoreau 45m

Just 45 miles but tiring! After smugly agreeing that the EV6 is actually a nice quiet route...no cyclists for miles, we realised we were lost and nowhere near the route!!! Getting back involved crossing the little known Loire Alps...felt like that anyway over rolling wooded hills as opposed to the flat proper route by the Loire. A cold recuperating beer was called for.
The worst the about touring in France is having to stop mid morning for coffee and pan au raisin...essential cycling fuel.

Hmm, nice picture of an upside down coffee cup to add to the sideways route sign.

I know the vin ordinaire is sixpence a pint but maybe you should wait until the evening before necking it?
