You leave Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine behind you, the little town famous for its goat’s cheese. The last houses soon give way to fields, farms and quiet country lanes. It’s an easy day. With around 21 kilometres and hardly any change in height, you’ll fall into your rhythm without even trying.

This is a stage for letting your thoughts wander. Not much happens, and that’s exactly what makes it so lovely. Les Ormes slowly comes closer, without any fuss. You walk into the village unhurried, with time to spare for a bit of washing, a shower and an afternoon nap. Don’t hold back too much, but do enjoy these flat kilometres. You don’t get a day like this every week. Buen Camino!

Tips for this stage

  • It's flat and easy: a good day to test new shoes or a heavier rucksack.
  • Buy your lunch and water in Sainte-Maure, so you don't have to count on anything along the way.
  • With a good 5 hours of walking, you have room for a relaxed start.
