The Loire is a wonderful area for cycling since it is so flat and there are many cycle routes, but once or twice a year there are special events where cyclists have priority. Today is retro cycling day but we have also seen vintage cars and vintage bikes making their way to Saumur. A huge parade ground is given over to retro stalls, foods and events and we saw some wonderful costumes as we made our way to church this morning.
