Bonneuil-Matours – Chauvigny
This slightly undulating stage follows quiet country lanes, winding its way through the beautifully wooded banks of the Vienne, past fields and hamlets.
To really appreciate Chauvigny, park your bike and make your way up to the medieval town via the steep, narrow streets. The site is exceptional: the Château d’Harcourt (13th century), the ruins of the Château des Evêques and its free-flight bird show, the superb panorama from the terrace of the Gouzon keep, and the Saint-Pierre collegiate church, a marvel of Romanesque art.
