GOING - COMING BACK
The start and the end of the cycle ride are in Nantes. It is very easy to get there with your non-dismantled bike by TGV from Paris, or by Intercity CORADIA LINER from Bordeaux or Lyon.
LINK
If you want to cycle to the foot of Mont-Saint-Michel via the Pont-Passerelle it is imperative to do so before 10am. After the crossing is exclusively reserved for pedestrians, bicycles are forbidden.
The passage from Saint-Malo to Dinard is made by the Bus-de-Mer of the Corsaire company.
In Dinard there are two different arrival/departure holds (quays) according to the timetables. WARNING the 'Cale Compagnie Corsaire' is a horror for bicycles with stairs that cannot be avoided. It is imperative to choose the other one, the 'Cale de la Vallée'.
SECTIONS
We make a large loop roughly centered on Rennes using :
- The LOIRE À VÉLO, from Nantes to Bouchemaine (near Angers)
- The VÉLOFRANCETTE, from Angers to Domfront.
- The VÉLOSCÉNIE, from Domfront to Mont-Saint-Michel
- The Mont-Saint-Michel - Saint-Malo Greenway
- The greenway Saint-Malo - Rhuys, from Saint-Malo to (after) Ploërmel
- The CANAL DE NANTES À BREST, from Monterlot (before Malestroit) to Nantes

ACCOMODATIONS
The entire hike was done in camping mode:
- Overall the quality of the campsites is very good.
- The best in terms of quality-hospitality-equipment-equipment:
- Camping Le Painfaut in Saint-Vincent-sur-Oust on the Canal de Nantes à Brest.
- A warm, friendly and attentive welcome by the attentive and accommodating manager.
- Service "aux petits soins" with delivery in the morning to the tent of warm bread and croissants.
- The worst in terms of hospitality and service:
- Camping De La Sélune in Pontaubault
- Pitiful welcome by an Englishman who hates the French and only deigns to smile at the Dutch and English who are his real business.
- He is a miser who pulls on all the minimum services (even the toilet paper is paid for).
