St Malo/ Pleven question.

A friend and I are riding to Pleven from St Malo on the 2nd day of a short tour.
Just wondered if anyone knows if you can cycle across the tidal barrage in St Malo estuary - the road is marked D168?
Or should we head further south to the D366?
Thanks for any help in advance, :wink:

Yes, you can

The road itself is very cramped and busy, however on the eastern side (And possibly the western side), there's a wide concrete service lane, seperated from the D168 by barriers of some sort. There's one or two places, where the bike might have to be wheeled, but it's fairly straightforward

The approach roads are cramped and busy, however can be cycled. There are places where a bike can be wheeled along on short stretches

Thanks for that. I'll have a look how much further it is to the other route and maybe try that instead; especially if its a quieter road.

I agree. Busy and quite hilly.

I'd agree too, we went this way last summer and it was fine. I've measured my track, we did about 19 km from St Malo to the bridge at Port St Humbert.
