Benefits of using soft mobility or public transport on this university site
A large part of the cycle route to the CFMI runs along the banks of the Loire, so you can enjoy the exceptional scenery. However, there is a difficult section around the Maisons Blanches quays (after the Tobacconist Restaurant) right up to the access to rue Inglessi.
Challenge: Climb the rue Inglessi hill!
Challenges specific to the university site
No catering facilities nearby. The nearest bakery is a 15/20 minute walk away. If you are travelling by public transport, you will need to bring a packed lunch.
