The Véloire

Exploring the Veloire is a unique experience, thanks to its position alongside Europe's last wild river.
The V71 is currently a 140km route stretching from Montrond-les-Bains to Paray-le-Monial, with future plans to extend it to the source.
The Véloire is synonymous with a relaxing and soothing escape along the tranquil, sleepy Loire, with views stretching endlessly to the horizon. The many charming villages and majestic châteaux along the way will impress and captivate you along the way.
From the spa town of Montrond-les-Bains, you'll take small roads along the river and then the idyllic greenway along the canal from Roanne to Digoin. The Basilique du Sacré-Coeur in Paray-le-Monial marks the end of your journey along the Véloire.
