This stage asks very little of your legs. You climb and descend so little that you hardly notice it. It’s a day for simply walking, around 21 kilometres in a little over 5 hours.
That leaves you room to look around. At fields, villages and the sky above the open countryside. There’s little to break your stride, so you quickly settle into your own rhythm. At the end, Châtellerault awaits, a town on the Vienne. After a day in the countryside, it comes as a bit of a jolt. You’ll arrive in good time, so you still have an afternoon left for a spot of washing, a café terrace and a stroll through the town.
