    A very enjoyable route for anyone interested in combining cycling with history, castles and local wine. The mostly flat terrain and good cycling infrastructure make it suitable for a wide range of cyclists. It's an easy route to recommend if you're looking for a relaxed multi-day ride through one of France's most historic regions.
