📖 Stage Description

The Touraine plain gives way to the bocage of Vienne. The route follows the Creuse river before entering the Vienne department at Dangé-Saint-Romain. The route follows dirt paths and minor roads through a typical landscape of Indre-et-Loire / Vienne, alternating forest paths and village crossings.

Arrival at Dangé-Saint-Romain concludes this stage of 29,2 km with a positive elevation gain of 267 m — a Moderate stage, accessible to the majority of walkers. All practical information for the overnight stop is available in the sidebar.
