Le Mans (LFRM) - Nantes (LFRS).
Abandoned (?) facility northwest of Cérans-Foulletourte.
The camp-like structure to our left seems to be an abandoned facility. I couldn’t find any informations on it, but you can visit the southern entrance via StreetView. It looks like an old military base, but I’m not sure.
Chateau de La Motte Lubin near Crosmières.
Another eye-catcher on which I couldn’t find many informations: The Chateau de La Motte Lubin with its prominent horse track. The only thing I could find was a notice about a horse purchase by Johanna Ullström, a notable trainer, who seems to have resided at some point at La Motte Lubin.
Nothing major, just a pretty track of land near the town of Soucelles.
Hippodrome d’Éventard in Angers.
Apparently horse racing is a major sport in this region of France - the next notable sight on our way was the Hippodrome d’Éventard in Angers, which seems to be the leading horse-racing track in France for three disciplines: Trot, Galop and Obstacle. I just like the aesthetics with the ponds in the center!
Île aux Prunes near Montjean-sur-Loire.
A beautiful river island in the Loire River on which I found exactly nothing. Apparently it shares its name with an island near Madagascar so you won’t find much about the French one. But it’s beautiful and I’m honestly a bit sad that there isn’t any StreetView coverage of it. The closest thing you can get is a point near the bridge to the pretty little village of La Corvée.
Île de Nantes in Nantes.
Just a shot of the city center of Nantes before turning into my approach.
