You won’t feel it in your legs until after the first hour. Nothing is really steep, but the path keeps rising a little and then dropping again. Today is about rhythm, not strength. You leave Crozant and the Creuse valley behind, and the route draws you out into open country.
It’s about 24 kilometres, and it will take you around 7 hours. That calls for a few proper breaks. The landscape is peaceful, and you’ll pass through lots of small villages and alongside pastures. This is a good place to let your mind empty. La Souterraine comes closer almost by itself, and you walk into the town pleasantly tired. Just keep to your own pace.
