With the ferry, cross the river for free at two points: between Basse-Indre and Indret and between Couëron and Le Pellerin.
With the whole family by bike, take the 2 ferries for a ride.
Start from Nantes towards Indre and take the ferries to cross the river. For lunch, recharge your batteries with a well-deserved pancake at the Restaurant la Martinière.

Easy 56 km round trip: Nantes > The Mountain > Indret (ferry) Indre > Couëron (ferry) Le Pellerin > Indret (ferry) Indre > Nantes (possibility to take the train in Couëron to go back to Nantes, 33 km trip).
