Stage Seven. Setting off from Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, the route joins the legendary GR®3, the first signposted Grande Randonnée® trail in France. More unobtrusive here, sometimes set back from the river, the path invites you to explore the landscapes of the Loire from a more intimate perspective. Amidst hillsides, hamlets and sunken lanes, the river is more sensed than seen.
