            1975 Around Angers 
Angers

We started our bike ride at Angers, where we spent a day or two waiting for our bikes to arrive at the station, having consigned them to SNCF at the Gare Montparnasse in Paris.

We took a couple of rides around the area before leaving to travel east up the Loire valley, choosing this direction because of the prevailing wind. We planned our routes carefully on the Michelin 1:200,000 maps, sticking wherever possible to minor roads, departmental or unclassified. Our first trip took us due north from Angers to Daon, and l'Escoublère, returning along by the Mayenne through Montreuil-sur-Maine and Grez-Neuville. A second journey went southwest close to the Loire to Chalonnes-sur-Loire, crossing the river and making a little detour to Chaudefonds-sur-Layon and St Aubin de-Luigné before returning to the Corniche Angevine to Rochefort-sur Loir and then on to les Ponts-de-Cé and Angers. 

On leaving Angers we crossed the river at les Ponts-de-Cé and took a back road to Brissac-Quincé. We then returned to the Loire at St Rémy-la-Varenne.

I've identified locations where I can, but would welcome any corrections or additions. Few of the transparencies have captions and I can't at the moment find my notes from the trip.
