📖 Stage Description

The stage from Tendu marks the entry into a wild and romantic Creuse. The route climbs the Creuse valley through landscapes of rocks, forests and gorges that herald the Massif Central.

Gargilesse-Dampierre, classé parmi les « Plus beaux villages de France », mérite une halte prolongée. Le castle médiéval, l'église romane et les ruelles fleuries en font un village d'exception. George Sand y séjournait régulièrement.

The stage of 33.8 km — the most physically demanding since the start with 503 m D+ — ends at the Lac de Chambon at Éguzon-Chantôme. This artificial lake of 500 ha is one of the largest in the region.
