Loire à Vélo
The annual Anjou Vélo Vintage, set over the weekend of Saturday 28th and Sunday the 29th of June, is an excuse to
revel in the glorious past of the humble bicycle. There is a big, jolly bike ride with
four different
routes, to suit
different levels and ages, from the colourful Lycra wearing ‘we take it
seriously’ kind of folk to the ‘lets dress up and have fun’ types. Don’t be
surprised to see fancy dress, blokes in boaters, ladies in lace and twos on
tandems – such fun!

Whether you are a cyclist or not, you will enjoy the ‘retro’
atmosphere in
Saumur the ’home’ of the festival. The nostalgia for the vintage ‘bicyclette’
will be enhanced by the addition of
costumes and music from a bygone age of fun and sophistication(?).
